A truck carrying dilute brine with 2130 mg/L chloride from cleanup of a pond containing waste water from producing oil well overturns and spills the dilute brine over an area of 455 square feet. The underlying thin aquifer has an average linear groundwater velocity of 1.23 feet/day. Where would the center of mass of plume be in 133 days, what would be max concentration be and how far beyond and to the side of center of mass would be plume spread

Question
A truck carrying dilute brine with 2130 mg/L chloride from cleanup of a pond containing waste water
from producing oil well overturns and spills the dilute brine over an area of 455 square feet. The
underlying thin aquifer has an average linear groundwater velocity of 1.23 feet/day. Where would the
center of mass of plume be in 133 days, what would be max concentration be and how far beyond and
to the side of center of mass would be plume spread?
