A method and apparatus for measuring in situ flow of non-aqueous phase
liquids (NAPLs) through a porous medium is described. A tracer is
introduced into a well or boring located in the medium and the tracer
concentration in the well kept uniform by mixing. The rate at which the
tracer is depleted from the well has been determined to be proportional
to the flow rate of the NAPL through the well or boring and surrounding
formation.
