Abstract
Most groundwater constituents are subject to chemical or biochemical reactions during subsurface transport. A complete reproduction of the transport behaviour of such species in groundwater requires to take into account not only the physical transport processes advection and diffusion/dispersion, but also the balance of their transformations.
