Communication of Complex Contaminant Transport Processes in Groundwater
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has partnered with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop education products that can help users build conceptual models and make decisions about appropriate remedial strategies. Education products include training seminars, multimedia, and factsheets that review and discuss key issues in contaminant transport. These materials can provide helpful information to environmental and remediation professionals.
One example of a visualization product jointly developed by USGS and EPA is a time-series video showing the spread of contamination in fractured rock within drilled open boreholes.
The animation, which can be found on EPA’s CLU-IN website, conveys the complex interaction of contaminants with various parts of the open borehole and how contamination between boreholes can occur. The animation was conceived from research work jointly performed by USGS and EPA.
