Abstract
MAGES is software for forecasting pollution hazards of groundwater whi ch is in the process of development at INRS-Eau (Canada). The main dis tinctive feature of the model is the use of stationary truncated tempo ral moment equations instead of the classical time dependent advection -dispersion equation to solve the transport of contaminants. The aim o f this work is to describe the theory of truncated temporal moment equ ations and to show how the curves of the concentration versus lime can be calculated from temporal moments. The discrete method used to solv e the equations and its stability is also discussed. ((C) Academie des sciences / Elsevier, Paris.).
