Abstract

Uncertainties caused by soil heterogeneity play an important role in the characterisation of contaminant transport through ground water. In this paper a process-based approach is presented as a method to generate predictions of the contaminant migration while taking these uncertainties into account throughout the entire process. The process-based approach is part of the concept of Flexible Emission Control (FEC). The concept of Flexible Emission Control consists of a dynamic approach of dealing with soil contamination problems. Based upon the understanding of the subsoil together with the character of the pollution, site investigation remedial me
