Contaminant Transport Pesticides in Ground Water: Distribution, Trends, and Governing Factors by Jack E. Barbash and Elizabeth A. ResekAnn Arbor Press This major work addresses the consequences for ground water of Americans applying some 1 billion pounds of pesticides annually. This book collects results from numerous laboratory studies, well sampling surveys, and field experiments on pesticides in ground water. The authors are with the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. EPA, respectively, and have compiled this comprehensive text by incorporating data derived from the National Water Quality Assessment Program, the Pesticides in Ground Water Database, the National Pesticide Study, National Alachlor Well Water Survey, and numerous state and local sources. The fate and transport, transformation products, and distribution of pesticides in ground water and soils in agricultural and non-agricultural areas are presented.

Allen Freeze, Joel Massmann, Leslie Smith, Tony Sperling, and Bruce James NGWA This report describes the application of decision analysis to engineering design for projects in which the hydrogeological environment plays an important role. The methodology discussed involves the coupling of three separate models: A decision model based on a risk-cost-benefit objective function A simulation model for ground water flow and transport An uncertainty model that encompasses both geological and parameter uncertainty. The first section of the report lays the framework, while the rest of the book describes how the methods can be applied in geotechnical and waste-management applications.
