Estimation of mass discharge has become an increasingly valuable analysis technique at sites with contaminated groundwater plumes. We propose a simple plume magnitude classification system based on mass discharge comprised of 10 separate magnitude categories, such as a "Mag 7 plume." This system can be a useful tool for scientists, engineers, regulators, and stakeholders to better communicate site conceptual models, prioritize sites, evaluate plumes both spatially and temporally, and determine potential impacts.
估算质量排放量已成为受污染地下水羽流地区越来越有价值的分析技术。我们提出了一个简单的基于质量排放量的羽流规模分类系统，该系统由 10 个单独的规模类别组成，例如“Mag7 羽流”。该系统可为科学家、工程师、监管机构和利益相关者提供有用的工具，以更好地交流场地概念模型、确定场地优先级、评估羽流的空间和时间特征，以及确定潜在影响。
