Description : Over the past several decades, analyses of solute migration in aquifers have widely adopted the classical advection-dispersion equation. However, misunderstandings over advection-dispersion concepts, their relationship with the scales of heterogeneity, our observation and interest, and their ensemble mean nature have created furious debates about the concepts' validity. This book provides a unified and comprehensive overview and lucid explanations of the stochastic nature of solute transport processes at different scales. It also presents tools for analyzing solute transport and its uncertainty to meet our needs at different scales. Easy-to-understand physical explanations without complex mathematics make this book an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals performing groundwater quality evaluations, management, and remediation. Reviews ‘This newly published textbook is nothing short of remarkable … Highly recommended.’ M. S. Field Source: Choice ‘[This book] nicely provides a comprehensive exploration of this subject, offering a blend of foundational concepts, methodologies, and real world applications. … The organization of this 351-page book is meticulous, providing a well-structured progression from basic to advanced topics.’ Mohamad Reza Soltanian Source: Groundwater
