Wiki: Investigation of contaminant transport in fractured limestone aquifers

This is a Wiki about the modeling of contaminant transport in limestone and about field methods and data acquisition in fractured limestone aquifers. It is part of a collaboration project between DTU Environment and the Capital Region of Denmark. The content is subject to changes and the Wiki is being further extended.
