Abstract

This article is largely based on existing publications from the author and his colleagues of Delft Geotechnics. It is intended is give an overview of strategies which are followed with respect to soil and groundwater pollution based on a number of case studies. The author greatly appreciates the contribution of materials to produce this article.
