... Salts are commonly applied to roads to reduce icing during the winter; dissolved salt can subsequently contaminate groundwater; estimates of hydraulic conductivity are needed to quantify the movement of salt ions through the sand and gravel aquifer near state route 25 in southeastern MA so that the effects of road salt application on the water quality of the aquifer, a source of public water supply, can be evaluated; a detailed description of each method used for estimation is provided and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed ...

Borehole geophysics is frequently applied in hydrogeological environmental investigations where, for example, sites must be evaluated to determine the distribution of contaminants. It is a cost-effective method for obtaining information during several phases of such investigations. Written by one of world's leading experts in the field, A Practical Guide to Borehole Geophysics in Environmental Investigations explains the basic principles of the many tools and techniques used in borehole logging projects. Applications are presented in terms of broad project objectives, providing a hands-on guide to geophysical logging programs, including specific examples of how to obtain and interpret data that meet particular hydrogeologic objectives.
