DESCRIPTION
       This  numerical	program	 calculates  numerical	implicit transient and
       steady state solute transport in	porous media in	the saturated zone  of
       an aquifer. The computation is based on raster maps and the current re-
       gion settings. All initial- and boundary-conditions must	be provided as
       raster maps. The	unit in	the location must be meters.

       This  module is sensitive to mask settings. All cells which are outside
       the mask	are ignored and	handled	as no flow boundaries.
       This module calculates the concentration	of the solution	 and  optional
       the  velocity field, based on the hydraulic conductivity, the effective
       porosity	and the	initial	piecometric heads.  The	vector components  can
       be visualized with paraview if they are exported	with r.out.vtk.
       Use  r.gwflow  to  compute  the piezometric heights of the aquifer. The
       piezometric heights and the hydraulic conductivity are used to  compute
       the  flow  direction and	the mean velocity of the groundwater.  This is
       the base	of the solute transport	computation.
       The solute transport will always	be calculated  transient.   For	 stady
       state  computation set the timestep to a	large number (billions of sec-
       onds).
       To reduce the numerical dispersion, which is a consequence of the  con-
       vection	term  and  the finite volume discretization, you can use small
       time steps and choose between full and exponential upwinding.

NOTES
       The solute transport calculation	is  based  on  a  diffusion/convection
       partial	differential  equation	and a numerical	implicit finite	volume
       discretization. Specific	for this kind of differential equation is  the
       combination  of a diffusion/dispersion term and a convection term.  The
       discretization results in an unsymmetric	linear equation	system in form
       of Ax = b, which	must be	solved.	The solute transport partial differen-
       tial equation is	of the following form:

       (dc/dt)*R = div ( D grad	c - uc)	+ cs -q/nf(c - c_in)

	   o   c -- the	concentration [kg/m^3]

	   o   u -- vector of mean groundwater flow velocity

	   o   dt -- the time step for transient calculation in	seconds	[s]

	   o   R -- the	linear retardation coefficient [-]

	   o   D -- the	diffusion and dispersion tensor	[m^2/s]

	   o   cs -- inner concentration sources/sinks [kg/m^3]

	   o   c_in -- the solute concentration	of influent water [kg/m^3]

	   o   q -- inner well sources/sinks [m^3/s]

	   o   nf -- the effective porosity [-]
       Three different boundary	conditions  are	 implemented,  the  Dirichlet,
       Transmission and	Neumann	conditions.  The calculation and boundary sta-
       tus of single cells can be set with  the	 status	 map.	The  following
       states are supportet:

	   o   0  == inactive -	the cell with status 0 will not	be calculated,
	       active cells will have a	no flow	boundary to an inactive	cell

	   o   1 == active - this cell is used for sloute  transport  calcula-
	       tion, inner sources can be defined for those cells

	   o   2  ==  Dirichlet	- cells	of this	type will have a fixed concen-
	       tration value which do not change over time

	   o   3 == Transmission - cells of this  type	should	be  placed  on
	       out-flow	boundaries to assure the flow of the solute stream out
       Note that all required raster maps are read into	main memory. Addition-
       ally the	linear equation	system will be allocated, so the  memory  con-
       sumption	of this	module rapidely	grow with the size of the input	maps.
       The  resulting linear equation system Ax	= b can	be solved with several
       solvers.	 Several iterative solvers with	unsymmetric  sparse  and  qua-
       dratic  matrices	 support  are  implemented.   The  jacobi  method, the
       Gauss-Seidel method and the biconjugate gradients-stabilized (bicgstab)
       method.	 Additionally  a  direct Gauss solver and LU solver are	avail-
       able. Those direct solvers only work with  quadratic  matrices,	so  be
       careful using them with large maps (maps	of size	10.000 cells will need
       more than one gigabyte of ram).	Always prefer a	sparse matrix solver.
