Abstract

© 2014 by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. All rights reserved. This chapter provides an overview of groundwater contamination problems, common types of groundwater contaminants, contaminant transport processes, groundwater cleanup goal and strategy, and remedial technologies. The remedial technologies covered are containment method, pump-and-treat, surfactant/cosolvent flushing, air sparging, permeable reactive barrier, bioremediation, and a few other in-situ cleanup technologies. The system installation and design, performance monitoring, and advantages and limitations associated wiTheach of the cleanup technologies are discussed.
