Abstract

Abstract The hydrological and hydrochemical processes controlling the fate of contaminants in groundwater flow systems are reviewed. The transport of these contaminants is controlled by hydrogeological phenomena, while chemical reactions, such as sorption, hydrolysis and biodegradation, act to retard and/or attenuate these substances. The results of recent research by European and North American workers are summarized for the benefit of readers unfamiliar with groundwater pollution.
