Fluid
flow
and
solute
transport
within
the
vadose
zone,
the
unsaturated
zone
between
the
land
surface
and
the
water
table,
can
be
the
cause
of
expanded
plumes
arising
from
localized
contaminant
sources.
An
understanding
of
vadose
zone
processes
is,
therefore,
an
essential
prerequisite
for
cost-effective
contaminant
remediation
efforts.
In
addition,
because
such
features
are
potential
avenues
for
rapid

in
the
United
States.
It
describes
and
evaluates
treatment
technologies
and

Most
books
on
ground
water
and
soil
cleanup
address
only
the
technologies
themselves--not
why
new
technologies
are
or
are
not
developed.
Innovations
in
Ground
Water
and
Soil
Cleanup
takes
a
holistic
approach
to
the
entire
field,
addressing
both
the
sluggish
commercial
development
of
ground
water
and
soil
cleanup
technologies
and
the
attributes
of
specific
technologies.
It
warns
that,

Although
chemical
pesticides
safeguard
crops
and
improve
farm
productivity,
they
are
increasingly
feared
for
their
potentially
dangerous
residues
and
their
effects
on
ecosystems.
The
Future
Role
of
Pesticides
explores
the
role
of
chemical
pesticides
in
the
decade
ahead
and
identifies
the
most
promising
opportunities
for
increasing
the
benefits
and
reducing
the
risks
of
pesticide
use.

This
book
presents
a
comprehensive,
up-to-date
review
of
technologies
for
cleaning
up
contaminants
in
groundwater
and
soil.
It
provides
a
special
focus
on
three
classes
of
contaminants
that
have
proven
very
difficult
to
treat
once
released
to
the
subsurface:
metals,
radionuclides,
and
dense
nonaqueous-phase
liquids
such
as
chlorinated
solvents.
