Ground Water Contamination: A practical approach to contamination assessment, remediation, and ground water sampling. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781099361791)

Ground Water Contamination presents a practical approach towards recognizing impacts to ground water, methods for predicting ground water elevation and flow, sources and mechanisms for producing ground water contaminants, risk assessment, fate and transport, common drilling methods, monitoring well design, sampling methods and procedures, remedial systems, and ground water modeling. Chapter 1 addresses ground water investigations, the types of investigation, conducting the investigation, emergency response actions, source removal, and site assessment. Chapter 2 presents the engineering aspects of geology predicting ground water elevation and flow, defining the seasonal high water table, problems with determining the seasonal high water table, quantitative methods used to predict ground water, methods summary and methods methods used to determining the seasonal high water table, and applications of the various methods. Chapter 3 presents contaminant hydrogeology by describing the extent of contamination, mechanisms, sources, and movement. Chapter 4 offers protocols on risk assessment and management. Chapter 5 offers some direction when modeling fate and transport and offers statistical method approaches. Chapter 6 presents common drilling methods. Chapter 7 presents monitoring well design and construction along with Chapter 8 describes ground water sampling techniques. Chapter 9 presents ground water sampling procedures. Chapter 10 offers remedial system design. Chapter 11 presents remedial action protocols, and Chapter 12 presents some thoughts on ground water modeling.
