Ground Water Contamination : Transport and Remediation

For engineers specializing in groundwater hydrology and contamination with a focus on remediation (clean-up). Unlike other volumes on the subject which focus on the geology of groundwater this text/reference takes an engineering approach.

Dr. Philip B. Bedient is Professor and Chair of the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Rice University, Houston, TX. He is author and co-author of over 100 articles and five textbooks related to surface and ground water hydrology and containment transport. Bedient has directed over 40 research projects, including the BIOPLUME II program for modeling aerobic biodegradation of organic contaminants in ground water. He also helped direct the extensive remediation studies at HUAFD. Dr. Hanadi S. Rifai is Assistant Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Houston. She teaches courses in hydrology, fluid mechanics, engineering design, risk assessment, and geographic information systems, has co-authored two textbooks, and is principal author of the BIOPLUME II and III models. Dr. Charles J. Newell is Vice President of Groundwater Services, Inc. and Adjunct Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering at, Rice University, Houston, TX. He was Principal Investigator for the multiplesite natural attenuation project at the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence.
