The book addresses the development of the basic knowledge of the
subsurface solute transfer with a particular emphasis on field data
collection and analysis coupled with modeling (analytical and
numerical) tool application. The relevant theoretical developments
are concerned mainly with the formulation and solution of
deterministic mass-transport equations for a wide range of
engineering issues in groundwater quality assessment and
forecasting.
The book gives many computational examples and case studies
drawn from the conducted field investigations. The analyzed
problems are as follows: investigation and prediction of
groundwater contamination by industrial contaminants and solutions
(radionuclides, chloride and nitrate brine) with special focus on
the effect of (a) aquifer heterogeneity, anisotropy, and dual
porosity, (b) density contrast existing between industrial waste
and groundwater, or in density-stratified artesian and coastal
groundwater systems; (c) physicochemical interactions that play a
major role in retarding (e.g. adsorption) or enhancing (e.g.
interactions between dissolved species and mobile colloids)
contaminant transport;prediction of the effects of pumping on
groundwater quality at wellfields;groundwater dating using stable
and radioactive isotopes for prediction and assessment of
contamination potential;field and laboratory tests' design and
analysis, and monitoring data interpretation;partitioning of
surface and subsurface flows using isotope techniques.
One of the most essential topics addressed in the book is the
migration and fate of radionuclides. Model development is motivated
by field data analysis from a number of radioactively contaminated
sites in the Russian Federation: near-surface radioactive waste
disposal sites and deep-well radioactive waste injection sites.
They play a unique role in the advancement of knowledge of the
subsurface behavior and fate of many hazardous radionuclides and
can be considered as field-scale laboratories.
Thus, the book, along with theoretical findings, contains field
information, which will facilitate the understanding of subsurface
solute transport and the development of a methodology for practical
applications to groundwater hydrology.
