Objective
TO DEVELOP FIELD TECHNIQUES FOR INVESTIGATING GROUNDWATER POLLUTION BY HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS (HHS) IN DUAL POROSITY MATERIALS
TO DESCRIBE AND MODEL THE REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION AND MOVEMENT OF DISSOLVED HHS IN THE COVENTRY AREA OF THE UK AS AN EXAMPLE OF A DUAL POROSITY AQUIFER SYSTEMTO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOVEMENT AND RETENTION OF HHS IN SOILS AND AQUIFER MATERIALS.
THE RESEARCH WILL BE CARRIED OUT COOPERATIVELY BY THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM, THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF DENMARK AND THE BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GEOLOGIQUES ET M INIERES
UB WILL BE THE LEAD INSTITUTE AND WILL ACT AS SCIENTIFIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE COO RDINATOR. UB WILL HAVE PRIMARY RESPONSABILITY FOR:
- PLANNING AND SUPERVISION OF DRILLING
- CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL ANALYSIS OF CORES AND WATER SAMPLES
- REGIONAL FIELDWORK
- INTERPRETATION OF REGIONAL HYDROGEOLOGY AND REGIONAL POLLUTION PATTERNS.
GSD WILL HAVE PRIMARY RESPONSABILITY FOR:
- DEVELOPMENT OF FIELD DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUES
- FIELDWORK (OTHER THAN DRILLING) IN BOREHOLES DRILLED FOR THE PROJECT AND O THER BOREHOLES THAT WILL BE INVESTIGATED IN DETAIL. THEY WILL PARTICIPATE IN TH E INTERPRETATION OF THE DETAILED SITE INVESTIGATIONS, AND REGIONAL HYDROGEOLOGY AND REGIONAL POLLUTION PATTERNS.
BRGM WILL HAVE PRIMARY RESPONSABILITY FOR LABORATORY STUDIES OF - SORPTION AND DESORPTION OF HHS, BOTH WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE GEOL OGICAL MATERIALS OF THE PROJECT AREA
- HHS MOVEMENT.
THERE ARE SIX COMPONENTS TO THE PROJECT:
1.- PRELIMINARY FIELD INVESTIGATION OF SITES
2.- DETAILED INVESTIGATION OF SITES.
3.- REGIONAL HYDROGEOLOGICAL STUDY
4.- REGIONAL FIELD INVESTIGATION OF GROUND WATER POLLUTION OF HHS 5.- LABORATORY STUDIES
6.- REGIONAL MODELLING AND INTERPRETATION OF HHS POLLUTION PATTERNS.
