In the current programme for research and development on the technical aspects of geological disposal, it is of significance to establish techniques for evaluating solute transport with a direct link to surface-based investigations through the processes of data interpretation, modelling and parameter designation within the immediate five years following the H17 Project. This report presents a basic approach to promoting multidisciplinary research activities involving field investigations and relevant solute transport analysis.
