An International Conference
Addressing Groundwater Flow'
Solute Transport, Multiphase Flow,
and Remediation in Fractured Rock

-------
It is now recognized
that contamination in
bedrock is of critical
importance at thou-
sands of sites through-
out the industrialized
and developing
worlds, with an esti-
mated cost of
remediation on the
order of billions of
dollars. Communica-
tion and coordination
among government officials, the research/engineering
community, and the public is essential if reasonable so-
lutions are to be implemented.
This three-day international conference will draw together
leading experts and practitioners dealing with contami-
nated groundwater in bedrock. The conference will fo-
cus on state-of-the-art methods of site characterization,
contaminant mobility and behavior, as well as contain-
ment and remediation in groundwater and the vadose
zone. Presentations will focus on all types of rock
; and organic contaminants (aqueous phase, LNAPLs, and
I DNAPLs), inorganic contaminants, isotopes, radionu-
clides, and all meth-
ods of investigation
(laboratory, numeri-
cal modeling, field
work, case histo-
ries, and policy).
The results of this
conference will
help point to prac-
tical solutions to
the problems re-
lated to measuring,
predicting, containing, and cleaning-up contaminants in
complex bedrock environments, as well as provide input
into a science and technology program plan for the next
decade. This will be documented and become a guide to
assist agencies funding research with decisions and sup-
porting information as they develop budgets.
This conference is aimed at all professionals dealing with
groundwater contamination and waste disposal consid-
eration in fractured bedrock. The conference will be of
interest to consultants, researchers, regulators, vendors,
and site owners.
