Remediation hydraulics, which examines fluid movement within porous materials, is vital to many applications such as groundwater treatment. In this textbook, Payne, Quinnan and Potter (all hydrogeologists with ARCADIS) apply all known theories in the field to demonstrate how realistic assessments of fluid movement are assessed during these types of projects. An emphasis is placed on groundwater flow and contamination distribution in this volume, which has been written for fellow hydrogeologists in the field as well as advanced students.
