What’s New in This Edition:

This latest edition covers important aspects of major design calculations as well as Groundwater and Soil Remediation Practical Design Calculations for
practical and relevant working information for groundwater and soil remediation. Realistic Calculations for
examples are used liberally to illustrate the applications of the design calculations. Many
examples are designed to assist the readers in building the right concepts. Groundwater and

The text begins with an introductory chapter; it then illustrates the engineering calculations
needed during site assessment and remedial investigation. It continues with a discussion
on plume migration in soil and groundwater. It then covers the mass-balance concept, Soil Remediation
reaction kinetics, and types, configurations, and sizing of reactors. The author incorporates
important design calculations for commonly used in situ and ex situ soil and groundwater
remediation technologies, such as soil venting, air sparging, air stripping, bioremediation,
and chemical oxidation, and off-gas treatment technologies. It also presents design
calculations for capture zone and optimal well spacing.

• Includes both SI and US customary units, as well as unit conversions
• Presents examples that directly follow the design equations

• Provides discussion that assists engineers in building proper concepts

Practical Design Calculations for Groundwater and Soil Remediation, Second Edition
Second Edition also serves as a reference or textbook for students dedicated to the
study of site remediation.
