Abstract This study derives an analytical solution of a one-dimensional (1D) advection-dispersion equation (ADE) for solute transport with two contaminant sources that takes into account the source term. For a heterogeneous medium, groundwater velocity is considered as a linear function while the dispersion as a nth-power of linear function of space and analytical solutions are obtained for and . The solution in a heterogeneous finite domain with unsteady coefficients is obtained using the Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT) with a new regular Sturm-Liouville Problem (SLP). The solutions are validated with the numerical solutions obtained using MATLAB pedpe solver and the existing solution from the proposed solutions. We exanimated the influence of the source term, the heterogeneity parameters and the unsteady coefficient on the solute concentration distribution. The results show that the source term produces a solute build-up while the heterogeneity level decreases the concentration level in the medium. As an illustration, model predictions are used to estimate the time histories of the radiological doses of uranium at different distances from the sources boundary in order to understand the potential radiological impact on the general public.
