Validation Of An Innovative Groundwater Contaminant Flux Measurement Method, Seh J. Kim
Validation Of An Innovative Groundwater Contaminant Flux Measurement Method, Seh J. Kim
Theses and Dissertations
The ability to measure groundwater contaminant flux is increasingly being recognized as crucial in order to prioritize contaminated site cleanups, estimate the efficiency of remediation technologies, measure rates of natural attenuation, and apply proper source terms to model groundwater contaminant transport. An innovative mass flux measurement method using horizontal flow treatment wells (HFTWs) was developed recently to compensate for the disadvantages of other flux measurement methods that are being used. Flux measurement methods can be categorized as either point methods or integral methods. As the name suggests, point methods measure flux at a specific point or points in the subsurface. …
