Biogeochemical Evolution of Domestic Waste Water in Septic Systems: 1. Conceptual Model
TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model, developed by synthesizing the results of many researchers, which describes the geochemical evolution of domestic waste water in conventional on-site septic systems as the result of the interactions of a few major constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI
A controlled field experiment on groundwater contamination by a multicomponent DNAPL: creation of the emplaced-source and overview of dissolved plume development.
TL;DR: The experiment indicates dissolved chlorinated solvent plumes from a residual dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source are likely to be highly mobile and persistent, at least in aquifers that are aerobic and have low sorption potential (low foc content).

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a 72-day methane gas injection experiment into a shallow, flat-lying sand aquifer were presented, showing that even small volume releases of methane gas can cause extensive and persistent free phase and solute plumes emanating from leaks that are detectable only by contaminant hydrogeology monitoring at high resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Multilevel Device for Ground‐Water Sampling and Piezometric Monitoring
TL;DR: In this article, a bundle of polypropylene tubes contained inside a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe that is installed in the aquifer is used as a point water sampler and piezometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Depth of Fractures and Active Ground‐Water Flow in a Clayey Till Plain in Southwestern Ontario
TL;DR: The St Clair plain in southwestern Ontario is underlain by extensive clayey till deposits which are generally 30 m to 40 m thick as discussed by the authors, and most weathering features along fractures reach a depth of only 2.5 m to 4 m.
