The Role of Models
| Groundwater models that predict contaminant fate and transport in the subsurface have been used over the years to not only determine contaminant distribution and to better understand the efficacy of cleanup efforts, but also to assign liability to potential responsible parties and influence regulation. Various mathematical models applicable in both the saturated and vadose zones have been the subject of WSTB reports. These include an overview of groundwater models and their scientific and regulatory applications, conceptual models of flow and transport in the fractured vadose zone [view report] and a review of groundwater modeling needs for the U.S.Army [view report] |
