abstract = {A saline tracer infiltration test across the fractured
vadose zone of an industrial contaminated site in Belgium
was monitored by combining surface and cross-borehole
electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) methods with a
vadose zone monitoring system (VMS). The VMS provides in
situ continuous hydraulic and chemical information on the
percolating tracer at multiple depths in the vadose zone.
The combination of such high-resolution data with time-lapse
geophysical images that capture the spatiotemporal
variability of the subsurface improves interpretations of
flow and transport, providing a better characterization of
infiltration mechanisms and preferential flow paths. The
tracer infiltration test was performed over a heterogeneous
vadose zone composed of backfilled materials, sands and
silts, and unsaturated fractured chalk. Monitoring results
during a 5-d period revealed the formation of a tracer plume
in the upper backfilled deposits, while some of the tracer
migrated laterally following preferential pathways. Slow
vertical flow through matrix pores was found to be dominant
under dry conditions. Infiltration of small quantities of
rain during the test was found to have an influence on the
spatial distribution of the plume. Results from long-term
monitoring revealed vertical transport of the tracer toward
depths that reached 4 m during a time period of 105 d.
During that period, fracture and matrix flow mechanisms
across the vadose zone were activated as a response to
frequent rainfall episodes. The study demonstrates that the
interpretation of geophysical images is improved by in situ
information from the VMS.},
