ABSTRACT

The preceding chapters have emphasized that any effort to attain sustainable urban watersheds must include a thorough investigation and understanding of the interactions between geology and contamination. Since nature does not isolate geology and contamination from other physical processes such as the hydrologic cycle, it is important to investigate the linkages between geology and contamination to other processes occurring within urban watersheds. This will help ensure when planning measures are implemented they are informed by the broadest foundation of the applicable science.
