Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You suspect that contaminants are unevenly distributed in a sediment sample. Describe a sampling strategy you would use to characterize the contaminant distribution effectively.
💡 Hint: Consider how to achieve an accurate representation.
How would increasing the retardation factor in a model change the estimated time for contaminants to reach the water table from a sediment site?
💡 Hint: Think about how speed and time are related.
