Abstract
Chemicals from agricultural field and other sources frequently enter the soil, subsoil, and aquifer. This may happen either by normal management practices or by accident, and the resulting chemical residues pose hazards to the environment and ecosystem. Whether we are using fertilizer or other pollutants, it is useful to know how fast it moves.
