Contaminant Transport
The contaminant transport portion of the Internet Modeling Course consists of modules which
- introduce concepts of contaminant transport,
- show how these concepts are put in modeling framework, and
- give advanced/optional information on certain phenomena.

Contaminant Transport Concepts
A number of physical, chemical, and biological processes affect contaminant transport. These processes are introduced from a conceptual point of view. Illustrations of some processes are provided by animations.
