In many parts of the world, groundwater resources are under
increasing threat from growing demands, wasteful use, and
contamination. To face the challenge, good planning and management
practices are needed. A key to the management of groundwater is the
ability to model the movement of fluids and contaminants in the
subsurface. The purpose of this book is to construct conceptual and
mathematical models that can provide the information required for
making decisions associated with the management of groundwater
resources, and the remediation of contaminated aquifers. The basic
approach of this book is to accurately describe the underlying
physics of groundwater flow and solute transport in heterogeneous
porous media, starting at the microscopic level, and to rigorously
derive their mathematical representation at the macroscopic levels.
The well-posed, macroscopic mathematical models are formulated for
saturated, single phase flow, as well as for unsaturated and
multiphase flow, and for the transport of single and multiple
chemical species. Numerical models are presented and computer codes
are reviewed, as tools for solving the models. The problem of
seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers is examined and modeled.
The issues of uncertainty in model input data and output are
addressed. The book concludes with a chapter on the management of
groundwater resources. Although one of the main objectives of this
book is to construct mathematical models, the amount of mathematics
required is kept minimal.
