Abstract
This chapter derives the differential equations of mass transport, distinguishing between conservative solutes (i.e., exclusively undergo hydrological processes) and reactive solutes (i.e., also undergo physico-chemical and/or biological processes). The differential equations are derived by imposing the mass balance of a generic solute in a representative elementary volume during a certain time interval.
