Advanced Nano-Bio Technologies for Water and Soil Treatment

Abstract

This chapter summarises the basic information on methods for fracturing the geological environment for the purposes of permeability increase and thus aquifer remediation enhancement. The technology allows to increase the infiltration of remediation substances into contaminated geological environment showing low permeability that can be hardly remediated without fracturing.
