This book provides essential background knowledge on a wide range
of hydrological processes governing contaminant transport from soil
to surface water across a range of scales, from hillslope to
watershed. The mathematical description of these processes is based
on both well-known and unique analytical solutions of different
initial and boundary problems (primarily using methods from the
kinematic wave theory and the reservoir/lumped-parameter concept),
supported by numerical modelling studies. Some research topics, in
particular several case studies, are illustrated by monitoring and
experimental data analysis to show the importance of the research's
applications in environmental practice and environmental education.
Specific results concern the recognition of: (a) the effect of
transient rainfall-runoff-infiltration partitioning on the chemical
response of drainage areas to excess precipitation under certain
field conditions related to the soil, hillslope characteristics,
and contaminant properties; (b) soil erosion as a key factor that
enhances the potential of adsorbed chemical transport in runoff;
and (c) common tendencies in radionuclide behaviour in the
near-surface environment contaminated by radioactive fallout from
the Chernobyl (1986), Fukushima (2011) and the less known Kyshtym
(1957) accidents, as well as from nuclear weapon tests in the
atmosphere since 1952. The book's goal is to provide a conceptual
foundation enabling readers to apply scientific knowledge to solve
practical problems in environmental hydrology and radiology. More
specifically, the book presents the state-of-the-art approaches
that scientists and natural resources experts need in order to
significantly improve the prediction of changes in the soil-water
system chemistry due to human activities.
