In 2001, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) started a project called Chemically and electrically coupled transport in clayey soils and sediments to quantify the role of chemically and electrically coupled transport in clayey soils and to assess its relevance for the distribution and emission of contaminants and water. The project involves three Ph.D. students working on field and laboratory experiments and modelling of chemical-and electro-osmosis.
