dc.description.abstract | Dynamical systems can be predicted using mathematical models. These models are usually Partial Different
Equations (PDEs). Examples include the wave equation, equations for diffusive processes, and the heat conduction
equation. Numerical solution of such PDEs describing a given system and its implementation using a suitable
computer code can lead to numerous predictions on the dynamical system both in space and time. In this paper, the
contaminant / chemical equation and the groundwater flow equation are solved numerically using the Integrated
Finite Difference Method (IFDM) and the algorithms generated are simulated using an object oriented code. Generic
results generated represent important predications on the fate and transport processes of a chemical in an aquifer
