The Waterloo DNAPL Course provides insight on dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) behaviour, distribution and fate in fractured geologic media, including fractured sedimentary and crystalline rocks, karst and clayey strata. Chlorinated solvents and emphasized, but attention is also directed at creosote, coal tar and PCB oils.

The Course instructors are world-renowned experts in their field and have developed this course with the goal to bridge the gap between research and practice. Click here for more information on the course.

The Waterloo DNAPL Course will be held twice in 2006:

DNAPLs typically represent the worst case scenario for groundwater contamination. Clayey aquitards that provide a high degree of protection to underlying aquifers from dissolved-phase contamination may offer only minimal protection from DNAPL contamination because of the propensity for DNAPL to enter and flow in very small fractures.

The Waterloo DNAPL Course is designed for everyone who wants to learn about the latest advances and the status of new site investigation approaches, technologies and related issues of natural attenuation and impracticability applied to fractured rock aquifers and aquitards.
