Abstract
With the increasing sense of
awareness about our environment and the recognition of the need for its
protection, the study of solute transport related to groundwater contamination
has become the focus of numerous researchers. Different investigators
approached the problem from many view points, and the resulting achievements
are so extensive and scattered that it seems essential to inventory the
completed works. This paper presents a systematic study of the available
theoretical and experimental works. A complete picture of the present status of
the problem is also provided, issues that remain obscure or unaddressed by the
current day investigators are pointed out to facilitate future research
directions and/or alternatives to advance technology for a greater
understanding and more comprehensive analyses of the solute transport phenomena
related to groundwater contamination.
