In the second paper in the series, the boundary element method for analysin
g contaminant migration problems in homogeneous porous medium developed in
the earlier paper by Leo and Booker(1) is extended to the non-homogeneous p
orous media. This extension enables potential application in practical desi
gn of landfills and in soils which cannot be idealized as being homogeneous
. Conventional boundary element techniques are used to deal with non-homoge
neity in that the non-homogeneous domain is approximated by a finite number
of homogeneous zones. The method may be used, for instance, in assessing t
he effectiveness of linear configuration surrounding waste repositories. Co
