Abstract
Modeling results of pollutant transport in the subsoil are presented for three studies. The first example shows the influence of heterogeneities in the hydraulic parameters of aquifers on the solute transport in ground water by using a stochastic simulation technique. The second example deals with the transport of aqueous solutions infiltrating into the subsurface and propagating in the capillary and the groundwater zones. The third study shows modeling results of the transport and biochemical transformation of organic and inorganic compounds in saturated soil columns.
