Overview
Currently the only technology to map DNAPL distribution
is extrapolating between point measurements in boreholes. This is
often inadequate because of the heterogeneity in both sedimentary
and fractured rock aquifers, and the likelihood of missing important
features that do not intersect the boreholes. The proposed technology
will directly image areas not sampled by boreholes. It aims to provide
high resolution images of DNAPL distribution changes between and
away from boreholes, and potentially direct detection of DNAPL,
providing detailed information on geologic structure which can be
used to improve predictive transport models. It will monitor effects
of remediation on DNAPls source-term removal with crosswell and
single well seismic and possibly radar measurements. In fractured
systems, it will directly image not only the fracture systems but
the important fractures controlling DNAPL distribution, changes
over time, and potentially DNAPL within the fractures.
