Improperly stored industrial waste results in the discharge of chlorobenzene (C6H5CI) into groundwater. Chlorobenzene binds to the solids with a Kd of 1.3 L/kg. The aquifer emerges into a stream 400 m away, over which distance the water table drops by 1.5 m. The sandy soil has a hydraulic conductivity of 7.1 x 10-4 m/s, a porosity of 0.32, and a solids density of 2.1 kg/L. Under these conditions, how long will it take (in years) for chlorobenzene to reach the stream?
