Presents the theoretical background as well as the practical application of the latest technology for the investigation and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Coverage of micropurging of wells prior to sampling; obtaining a ground water sample without a monitoring well; fingerprinting petroleum contamination in soil; soil and groundwater contamination from coal tar and related compounds; and contains a number of case histories showing the practical applications of the theory. A valuable reference for the working professional. Booknews A textbook for a graduate course in mass transport and contaminant hydrogeology in a curriculum such as geology, civil engineering, or agricultural engineering. Assumes basic courses in hydrogeology, chemistry, calculus, and physics. Incorporates new practical concepts that have emerged since the 1993 edition, but primarily adds many more solved problems and case studies and chapter-end problems. Also includes a CD-ROM with a student version of the contaminant migration software Visual MODFLOW with MODPATH and MT3D; it requires Windows 95 or NT 4.0. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
