Analytical Modeling of Solute Transport in Groundwater: Using Models to Understand the Effect of Natural Processes on Contaminant Fate and Transport

Teaches, using simple analytical models how physical, chemical, and biological processes in the subsurface affect contaminant transport

• Uses simple analytical models to demonstrate the impact of subsurface processes on the fate and transport of groundwater contaminants
• Includes downloadable modeling tool that provides easily understood graphical output for over thirty models
• Modeling tool and book are integrated to facilitate reader understanding
• Collects analytical solutions from many sources into a single volume and, for the interested reader, shows how these solutions are derived from the governing model equations
