Abstract
Groundwater research studies at Columbus Air Force Base (AFB), Mississippi (MS) are currently underway and have been under active pursuit for over ten years. This chapter is an overview of some of the key research findings from the groundwater test site. The individual sections are in chronological order and provide a quick summary of the site activities associated with various research projects.
