Page iv - Nation's land, air, and water resources. Under a mandate of national environmental laws, the Agency strives to formulate and implement actions leading to a compatible balance between human activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life.
Page ii - It has been subjected to the Agency's peer and administrative review, and it has been approved for publication as an EPA document. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use.
Page 14 - ... affect ground-water resources. The possible outcomes of complex problems can be addressed in great detail, if adequate data are available. The success of these efforts depends on the accuracy and efficiency with which the natural processes controlling the behavior of ground water, and the chemical and biological species It transports, are simulated.
Page 27 - ... of a natural phenomenon. 3.6 sensitivity — the degree to which the model result is affected by changes in a selected input parameter. 3.7 validation — comparison of model results with numerical data independently derived from experiments or observations of the environment. 3.8 verification — examination of the numerical technique in the computer code to ascertain that it truly represents the conceptual model and that there are no inherent numerical problems with obtaining a solution.
Page iv - FOREWORD EPA is charged by Congress to protect the Nation's land, air and water systems. Under a mandate of national environmental laws focused on air and water quality, solid waste management and the control of toxic substances, pesticides, noise and radiation, the Agency strives to formulate and implement actions which lead to a compatible balance between human activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. The Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory is the...
Page iv - ... and nurture life. The Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory is the Agency's center of expertise for investigation of the soil and subsurface environment. Personnel at the laboratory are responsible for management of research programs to: (a) determine the fate, transport and transformation rates of pollutants in the soil, the unsaturated and the saturated zones of the subsurface environment; (b) define the processes to be used in characterizing the soil and subsurface environment as...

Page iv - ... Personnel at the laboratory are responsible for management of research programs to: (a) determine the fate, transport and transformation rates of pollutants in the soil, the unsaturated and the saturated zones of the subsurface environment; (b) define the processes to be used in characterizing the soil and subsurface environment as a receptor of pollutants; (c) develop techniques for predicting the effect of pollutants on ground water, soil, and indigenous organisms; and (d) define and demonstrate...
