Fractures and fracture networks are key conduits for migration of hydrothermal fluids, water and contaminants in groundwater systems Modeling is widely used to understand the environmental risk associated with migration of pollutant for different hydrogeological conditions. In this paper, we proposed a conceptual and mathematical model of flow and transport phenomena in fractured rock systems, and applied in a arsenic contaminate site as a case study. The groundwater flow model and arsenic migration model in fissure-matrix dual system were established. The results show that the velocity of groundwater is positively correlated with inlet pressure, but not with the porosity of the fracture. When the velocity of groundwater is relatively high, arsenic is transported along with the current in a finger-like manner. The distribution of arsenic concentration on the fracture surface is heterogeneous and the phenomenon of diffusion from the fracture to the matrix is not obvious. Indeed, when the velocity of groundwater is relatively small, the arsenic moves forward slowly, the concentration distribution on the crack surface is relatively uniform, and the diffusion phenomenon from the crack to the matrix is more significant.
