Abstract
Water infiltrating the surface of waste rock dumps transports pollutants into the environment. Lysimeters have been used to quantify the infiltration rate. To date their design has been guided by modeling under steady-state conditions. Recently a two-dimensional finite element code has been Chair: E. Schwamberger, Kirkland, WA developed to model the response of lysimeters to time-dependent infiltration rates. It was used to investigate the response of lysimeters installed in a waste rock dump and subject to a monsoonal Limnology of the Sleeper Pit Lake, Humboldt County, Nevada: rainfall pattern. The results are presented and compared with field data
