Mathematical models have developed to calculate the natural degradation capacity of polluted ground water, allowing predictions of whether a polluted area will become larger or smaller.
Dutch researcher Phil Ham has developed mathematical models to calculate the natural degradation capacity of polluted ground water. As a result, it can now be predicted whether a polluted area will become larger or smaller.
Ground water under contaminated sites often is polluted. Such a polluted ground water plume can grow, shrink or remain stable due to an interplay between physical, chemical and biological processes.
