Abstract
Dynamic flow systems and transport of contaminants in karstic aquifers result from the actions of physical and chemical processes involving aqueous systems containing certain contaminants. These processes are elaborated, and pertinent mathematical and chemical equations are discussed, herein. Contaminant transport in karstic aquifers can be mathematically expressed by the basic equations evaluated primarily for the flow in porous, highly permeable aquifers. The effects of advection, hydrodynamic dispersion, and dilution are elaborated as physical processes that effect the movement of contaminants through groundwater in permeable rocks. Physical and chemical mechanisms that govem contaminant movement and groundwater flow through fractured media are proposed as the basis of an approximate scenario of contaminant transport through karstified carbonate rocks.
