Abstract
When certain conditions are met, groundwater transport of solutes stemming from a diffuse source can be described by considering the aquifer as a reservoir in which perfect mixing takes place. This theory is illustrated with three groundwater flow regimes of frequent occurrence. Besides, by deriving the mass balance for such a linear — or linearised — system, the influences of several physico-chemical processes such as non-equilibrium adsorption and first-order decomposition or decay can be determined. Special attention is given to the importance of the time scale at which the processes play a role.
