This image illustrates the irregular spreading behavior of a contaminant plume in the subsurface environment. This seemingly erratic spreading is attributed to the spatial variability of aquifer's hydraulic properties over a multitude of length scales. Darker shades of blue indicate a higher concentration of a contaminant whereas lighter shades of blue represent lower concentrations. This image was generated using high resolution numerical simulations. Image/Felipe de Barros
