Push-Pull Tests for Site Characterization
The push-pull test is a powerful site characterization technique that has been applied to a wide range of problems in contaminant hydrogeology. The theoretical and practical aspects of push-pull testing were initially developed to characterize groundwater

Summary
This book has described and hopefully demonstrated that the single-well, push-pull test, in all its various manifestations, is a useful tool for site characterization, pilot testing of various remediation strategies, and so on. The advantages of in situ testing are clear, and the push-pull format makes it possible to perform field experiments at relevant scales for a modest cost and with no more logistical complexity than a laboratory experiment. Often in the biogeochemical sciences, we think
