For these and many other applied problems, it is very important that we understand how groundwater moves through unsaturated fractured rocks so that predictive models are based on strong science. At this time, our understanding of flow through unsaturated fractured rock is limited, and current predictive models are based mostly on theory and actual lavatory experiments. In order to improve predictive models, it is necessary that we conduct experiments designed to understand the fundamental flow processes at work on the micro-scale, which will enhance our understanding of large scale flow m...
