Introduction to Phytoremediation of Contaminated Groundwater

  • 1769 Accesses

Abstract

In general, the combined processes of evaporation and transpiration can remove about 70% of annual precipitation from a basin or, on a smaller scale, a phytoremediation site. But how much of this water is removed by transpiration? How much of this transpired water is derived from groundwater? Fortunately, geochemical methods can be used to elucidate the various sources of water, including groundwater, that comprise sap flow. These geochemical methods can be used in combination with the water-budget methods discussed previously to decipher plant and groundwater interactions at contaminated sites.
