A biobarrier concept for the remediation of groundwater in fractured rock / by Nathalie Ross.: En13-5/04-172E-PDF
"Fractured rock aquifers are the most complex sites to remediate. To date, no known technologies have been proven to be successful in this setting. Complexity is attributable to the fracture framework, which governs groundwater flow to the diffusion of contamination in the rock matrix, which is followed by a back diffusion that may last for decades, and to the challenge of delivering a remediation technology, which includes the cost of excavating. Recent work on a biobarrier concept showed potential for the control of contaminant transport in fractured environments"--page [1].
