Product Description
This complete guide, written to appeal to a diverse audience, looks at the role of geochemistry in groundwater monitoring and remediation programs, and presents it at a level understandable to a wide audience. The text begins with an explanation of fundamental geochemical processes, followed by a description of the methods and tools used to understand and simulate them. The book then explains how geochemistry applies to contaminant mobility, discusses remediation system design, sampling program development, and the modeling of geochemical interactions. It concludes with specific applications of geochemistry to contaminated sites. This is an ideal choice for readers who do not have an extensive technical background in aqueous chemistry, geochemistry, or geochemical modeling.
