Description:
This publication is based on a series of t.technology Transfer seminars that were conducted in 1987 and 1988. The document provides an overview of many of the issues associated with the physical, chemical and biological processes that control contaminant transport in the subsurface. Additional topics include a summary of modeling approaches used to make predictions about the transport and fate of contaminants and management considerations important to subsurface transport and fate issues. This information will assist decision makers in selecting effective ground-water remedial technologies, which are highly dependent on site-specific knowledge of the influence of transport processes on contaminant levels.
