Description Monitoring changes in electrical conductivity (EC) of aqueous phase, due to contaminant diffusion through porous media, is one of the techniques followed by researchers to understand the migration mechanism. However, the contaminant diffusion in the rock mass is a slow process and hence detecting small changes in conductivity with the help of conventional laboratory conductivity meters is quite difficult. With this in view, an experimental methodology to monitor diffusion of contaminant(s) through the intact and fractured rock mass, with the help of a USDTS (Ultra-Sensitive Devices and Technical Services) conductivity meter, has been developed. Results have been validated with those obtained from the ion chromatograph (IC) technique and a good agreement has been noted. The study demonstrates usefulness of the proposed methodology for online monitoring of contaminant migration through the porous media.
