Abstract
While advances into understanding the complexities of contaminant migration through porous media and fractured rock are continually being made, nothing is more important to understanding contaminant migration, and designing remedial systems, then a complete model of the hydrogeological environment. One must understand the hydrostratigraphy and other factors that control fluid flow at a site before one can hope to understand or control contaminant migration.
