The understanding of the fate and transport of contaminant plumes from contaminated sites in limestone aquifers is important because they are a major drinking water resource.

[[ Introduction and background ]]
−
This is challenging because they are often heavily fractured and contain chert layers and nodules, resulting in a complex flow and transport behavior.
 
−
Modeling can help with the interpretation of measurements and the prediction of the contaminant behavior in the aquifer.
 
−
It can be used as a tool to advance the conceptual understanding and for decision support for risk assessment and the planning of remedial actions.
 
−
 
 
−
Several fracture flow and transport models are available for the modeling of contaminant transport in fractured media.
 
−
This wiki aims at giving an overview of modeling tools that can be used for the interpretation and prediction of flow and transport processes in fractured limestone aquifers.
 
−
The different concepts will be presented in the chapter [[Model concepts]].
 
−
They will be compared for their suitability to simulate field data and to represent typical features of fracture flow and transport using a field example ([[Example Akacievej]]).
