Geophysics and Geostatistics for Evaluating Groundwater Pollution

  • Chapter
Contaminated Soil ’88

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to show how surface geophysics and geo-statistics can be utilized in evaluating groundwater pollution plumes. In general, groundwater pollution control planning involves five tasks defined in Table 1.
