Description:
Ground-water flow and contaminant transport modeling has been used at many hazardous waste sites with varying degrees of success. odels may be used throughout all phases of the site investigation and remediation processes. eveloping a better understanding of ground-water modeling has been identified as a concern for decision makers at hazardous waste sites. The ability to reliably predict the rate and direction of ground-water flow and contaminant transport is critical in planning and implementing ground-water. remediation `This paper presents an overview of ground-water flow and contaminant transport modeling in saturated porous media. hile fractured rocks and fractured porous rocks may behave like porous media with respect to many flow and contaminant transport phenomena, they require a separate discussion and are not included in this paper. imilarly, the special features of flow and contaminant transport in the unsaturated zone are also not included. his paper was prepared for an audience with some technical background and a basic working knowledge of ground-water flow and contaminant transport processes.
