Groundwater contamination
This study is part of a series of studies in geophysics that have been undertaken for the Geophysics Research Forum by the Geophysics Study Committee. One purpose of each study is to provide assessments from the scientific community to aid policymakers in decisions on a societal problem that involve geophysics. An important part of such assessments is an evaluation of the adequacy of current geophysical knowledge and the appropriateness of current research programs as a source of information required for those decisions. The study addresses our current scientific understanding of groundwater contaminant transport --- both by theory and by investigation of contaminated aquifers. The study also looks at many of the fundamental questions and uncertainties that require additional scientific research for the prediction of contaminant transport and the control of groundwater contamination. This volume contains 14 papers. Individual papers are indexed separately on the energy data base.
