Course description
A basic understanding of geochemical concepts is a good start, but knowing how contaminants will behave in a variety of geochemical settings is vital in conducting site assessments or designing an effective remediation project. Conditions resulting from groundwater and aquifer/soil interactions will be discussed in this course and the effects of introducing a variety of contaminants will be examined. Case studies will be used to explain data collection requirements, laboratory analytical methods, and interpretation of data. Class exercises will be used to reinforce concepts presented in the lectures. This class is designed to provide you with the knowledge you need to evaluate contaminant migration and design remediation systems based upon the geochemical parameters of your site.
You will receive
Notes in a three-ring binder.
You should provide
A calculator.
Optional textbook
Groundwater Geochemistry, by William Deutsch, provides supplemental information to the topics discussed in this course. The book may be purchased through the NGWA bookstore.

Education level
Intermediate. Attendees should possess a basic understanding of groundwater geochemistry as covered in the 'NGWA Fundamentals of Groundwater Geochemistry' short course (see the description of that course for an idea of minimum knowledge recommended to ensure complete understanding of this course). Two semesters of undergraduate chemistry and a degree in Earth sciences or engineering are recommended; you may also want to review a college-level chemistry text prior to attending.
