The objectives of the proposed study are: (1) to investigate factors controlling the fate and transport of contaminants in heterogeneous unsaturated soils, and (2) to develop a computationally feasible methodology for predicting chemical movements in large-scale unsaturated zone. The proposed study will provide ways to estimate uncertainties in chemical transport due to spatial variability of soil hydrologic parameters. The uncertainty analysis is essential to interpretation of any field experiment of transport of chemically reactive tracers. Without eliminating the uncertainty due to heterogeneity in hydrologic parameters, mechanisms and principles controlling chemical behaviors of contaminants in the field condition may be misinterpreted.

The refereed and edited proceedings of the symposium Schlomo P. Neuman: Recent Advances After 30 Years of Exceptional Contributions to Well Hydraulics, Numerical Modeling, and Field Investigations, which was held in Tucson, Arizona, in October 1998. Among the topics are four decades of inverse problems in hydrogeology, a connected-network paradigm for the alluvial aquifer system, the influence of multi-scale structure in non-ergodic solute transport in heterogeneous porous media, the Gaussian analysis of one-dimensional unsaturated flow in randomly heterogeneous soils, and the type-curve interpretation of transient single-hole pneumatic injection tests in unsaturated fractured tuffs at the Apache Leap Research Site.

This book focuses on the the application of hydrogeophysical methods to the understanding of hydrological processes and environmental problems dealing with the flow of water and the transport of solutes and contaminants. Taking a process-driven approach, the book offers a series of process-driven chapters, each authored by leading experts. Areas covered include: infiltration and solute transport processes, biogeochemical functioning of soil-water systems, coastal groundwater interactions, cold region hydrology, engineered barriers and landfill processes.
