Abstract

In many groundwater systems, the porous media have near-horizontal layered structures that have been formed by natural sedimentology processes. Diffusive transfer of solute mass between layers differing in hydraulic conductivity is a key smoothing mechanism of concentration profiles in such stratified groundwater systems. A result of this process is the higher rate of mass transfer in layers with lower permeability and its lower rate in layers with higher permeability.
