Groundwater is one of the components of the hydrological cycle from which humanity gets the supply of water for domestic, industrial and agricultural use. The need for groundwater is increasing with the increase of population, industrialization, agriculture and navigation. Hence the conservation of the groundwater resources in quality and quantity deserves utmost attention. The quality of groundwater is judged by amount of the dissolved or suspended solutes present in it. The occurrences of groundwater contamination and quality of groundwater have become major issues. To understand the movement of contaminant in the groundwater, a physical model is developed and experiments were carried out. The experiment is conducted to study the transport of Phenol through groundwater aquifer under different slope conditions. The contaminant concentrations that are tested in above experiments were 100ppm, 75 ppm and 50 ppm. The slopes for the aquifer are 1:75 and 1:60. Graded sand in defined proportions was used as porous media. To understand the transport of Phenol in the aquifer, samples are collected at the time intervals of 24hrs after the introduction of contaminant into the aquifer and contours of transport of Phenol are plotted and compared.
