The University of Florida is offering a grant to deploy passive flux meters (PFMs) at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to measure groundwater and contaminant flux at hazardous waste sites. This innovative method has been modified to study depths exceeding 100 feet and will focus on quantifying water flux at greater depths, considering enhanced tracer removal within well casing water. The grant aims to enhance understanding of water movement and contamination levels to improve environmental management at the site.

| Description: | The passive flux meter (PFM) is an innovative method developed at the University of Florida (UF) for measuring groundwater and contaminant flux at hazardous waste sites. The fundamental design has been modified for conducting studies at depths in excess of 100 feet. The PFM will focus on quantifying water flux at greater depth considering enhanced tracer removal with movement through well casing water. The PFMs will be deployed at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico. |
