“…The spatial heterogeneity of the hydrogeological properties will dictate the relative importance of the degradation products to the total human health risk. In this context, the variability of the hydraulic properties typically leads to preferential flow channels and lowpermeability areas where contaminants can be temporarily trapped by rate-limited mass transfer [e.g., Gomez-Hernandez and Wen, 1998;Zinn and Harvey, 2003;Bianchi et al, 2011]. The formation of these fast flow channels is typically associated with the presence of well-connected, highly permeable geological bodies or structures that can concentrate flow and solute transport [e.g., Knudby and Carrera, 2005; Incorporating hydrogeological uncertainty in human health predictions has been a topic of intense research in the past [e.g., Andričević and Cvetković, 1996;de Barros and Rubin, 2008;Cvetković and Molin, 2012;Rodak and Silliman, 2011;Andričević et al, 2012;Siirila and Maxwell, 2012;Atchley et al, 2013;de Barros and Fiori, 2014].…”
