Abstract
Preparation of a good introductory textbook on groundwater contamination is a challenge, since it requires treating a complex topic in a scientifically rigorous way while maintaining an introductory level. Of necessity, tradeoffs must be made to achieve this objective and brevity as well. Another difficulty arises because research into the fate of chemicals in the subsurface is a relatively new and evolving area. The authors of this book note that, “In the investigation and analysis of a groundwater pollution problem involving hazardous wastes, there is no established method or procedure.” Despite this handicap, the authors do succeed in demonstrating that although any given case of contamination is unique, it is possible to identify common attributes and outline a general framework for monitoring and remedial action.
