Excerpt from Ground-Water Contamination, Problems and Remedial Actions
Because of the need for strategies to handle incidents of subsurface contamination effectively, the Illinois State Geological Survey undertook a study for the Illinois Institute for Environmental Quality to determine what strategies were in use elsewhere that might be adopted in Illinois. The study is a natural outgrowth of research carried on at the Geological Survey for thepast several years. The Survey has been studying movement of contaminants within the hydrogeologic framework, and it has advised several local and state authorities during emergencies involving ground-water pollution.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of groundwater contamination, offering a comprehensive analysis of its causes, consequences, and potential solutions. Through a meticulous examination of numerous case studies, the author unveils the complexities involved in addressing groundwater pollution incidents, emphasizing the challenges posed by the often hidden and slow-moving nature of subsurface contamination. The book explores the historical context of groundwater contamination, highlighting the increasing reliance on land disposal of wastes as regulations on surface water discharge have become more stringent. This shift has led to a surge in groundwater pollution incidents, necessitating the development of effective strategies for mitigation and remediation. A central theme of the book is the critical role of hydrogeologic conditions in determining the fate and transport of contaminants in groundwater. The author meticulously examines the impact of different geologic settings, including fine-grained materials, coarse-grained materials, and fractured rocks, on the effectiveness of various remedial actions. Ultimately, this book underscores the importance of a proactive and informed approach to safeguarding groundwater resources. By understanding the complexities of groundwater contamination and the factors influencing remedial action, we can develop effective strategies to protect this vital resource for present and future generations.
