Definition
The application of a mathematical model to represent a regional or site-specific groundwater contamination problem.
Description
A model that simulates the movement of a contaminant through the subsurface.
Why is a contaminant transport model important?
These models depict the movement of contamination with time and as such are important tools in the management and remediation of contaminated groundwater sites.
