Project Title: Predicting Contaminant Transport in Fractured Aquifers

Category: B. Water Resources

Summary: We will develop a practical tool for accurately quantifying and predicting contaminant transport in fractured aquifers. The tool will help more efficiently and economically manage many active groundwater contamination sites.

Total Project Budget: $ 350,664
Proposed Project Time Period for the Funding Requested: June 30, 2023 (3 yrs)
