Preface
Studies of solute fate and transport in the subsurface environment have been playing a significant role in hydrogeology over the past half century. The problem directly relates to the quality of natural water resources, which are essential to all kinds of life, and are a basic element in many sectors of human society. Most migration studies of both natural and anthropogenically derived species have considered the motion of a fluid (groundwater) accompanied by diffusion–dispersion phenomena, physicochemical interactions, as well as microbiological transformations, known to be the dominant factors providing the impact of contaminants upon groundwater supplies. Over the last decades, essential progress in the migration process description has been achieved due to the development of mathematical background and numerical methods and laboratory and field investigations of particular transport mechanisms and physicochemical interactions. However, in many real situations, the subsurface material heterogeneity and variations in fluid properties, resulting in nonlinear contaminant plume behavior, make the prediction accuracy of the transfer processes too low to satisfy the practical needs. The lack of comprehensive field studies of solute movement is often cited as a major impediment to our understanding
