Prerequisite: CIVL 6615. Behavior of the contaminants in the subsurface. Emphasis on physical, chemical, and biological processes that determine fate of a contaminant: advection, diffusion, absorption, mechnical disperision, biochemical reactions. Quantitative relationships for predictive framework. Applications include site characterization, remediation, wellhead protection, flow and transport modeling, groundwater waste disposal. 3 credits.
