The relevant theoretical developments are concerned mainly with the formulation and solution of deterministic mass-transport equations for a wide range of engineering issues in groundwater quality assessment and forecasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book gives many computational examples and case studies drawn from the conducted field investigations. The analyzed problems are as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einvestigation and prediction of groundwater contamination by industrial contaminants and solutions (radionuclides, chloride and nitrate brine) with special focus on the effect of (a) aquifer heterogeneity, anisotropy, and dual porosity, (b) density contrast existing between industrial waste and groundwater, or in density-stratified artesian and coastal groundwater systems; (c) physicochemical interactions that play a major role in retarding (e.g. adsorption) or enhancing (e.g. interactions between dissolved species and mobile colloids) contaminant transport;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprediction of the effects of pumping on groundwater quality at wellfields;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egroundwater dating using stable and radioactive isotopes for prediction and assessment of contamination potential;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efield and laboratory tests’ design and analysis, and monitoring data interpretation;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epartitioning of surface and subsurface flows using isotope techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most essential topics addressed in the book is the migration and fate of radionuclides. Model development is motivated by field data analysis from a number of radioactively contaminated sites in the Russian Federation: near-surface radioactive waste disposal sites and deep-well radioactive waste injection sites. They play a unique role in the advancement of knowledge of the subsurface behavior and fate ofmany hazardous radionuclides and can be considered as field-scale laboratories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus, the book, along with theoretical findings, contains field information, which will facilitate the understanding of subsurface solute transport and the development of a methodology for practical applications to groundwater hydrology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-07-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400713055\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-1306-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 815\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661341933708,"sku":"9789400713055","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400713055.jpg?v=1776429128","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789400713055","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
