Introduction and Commercial Application The reservoir and well behaviour under dynamic conditions are key parameters in determining what fraction of the hydrocarbons initially in place will be produced to surface over the lifetime of the field, at what rates they will be produced, and which unwanted fluids such as water are also produced. This behaviour will therefore dictate the revenue stream which the development will generate through sales of the hydrocarbons. The reservoir and well performance are linked to the surface development plan, and cannot be considered in isolation different subsurface development plans will demand different surface facilities. The prediction of reservoir and well behaviour are therefore crucial components of field development planning, as well as playing a major role in reservoir management during production.

Metal-based PRBs involve the introduction of metals, usually zero-valent iron, but sometimes metal wool, palladium, or other metals to chemically react with the target contaminant(s), causing chemical adsorption with and/or destruction of the contaminants. These materials are typically permeable to water and thus avoid the groundwater management and flow problems associated with impermeable barriers. 

So I knew I would not be able to resist the lure of writing about the elements. But I began to see also that an introduction to the elements need not after all become a tour of the Periodic Table—which anyway others have conducted before me, and more skilfully or more exhaustively than I would be able to manage. The story of the elements is the story of our relationship with matter, something that predates any notion of the Periodic Table. Intimacy with matter does not depend on a detailed knowledge of silicon, phosphorus, and molybdenum it flows from the pleasurable density of a silver ingot, the cool sweetness of water, the smoothness of polished jade. That is the source of the fundamental question what is the world made from ...

Today, it is well known that the introduction of a chlorine or fluorine atom at the C-9 position of the natural adrenal substances cortisone and hydrocortisone (and of their dehydro-analogues) markedly enhances the anti-inflammatory activity of these agents, and is accompanied by a striking increase in both salt and water retention [14]. These undesirable side effects, which are manifested generally by 9-halo-steroids, preclude their use systemically in the management of disorders that are normally responsive to adrenocortical steroid therapy. 

This entry is intended to provide an introduction and practical analysis of the current standardized aspects of aquatic toxicity biomonitoring of industrial and municipal effluents. These tests and monitoring programs are needed to determine whether management requirements or regulatory criteria are being met as well as to assess the temporal and spatial trends in water quality.
