A boundary element method is developed for the analysis of contaminant migration in porous media. The technique involves, "rstly, taking the Laplace transform with respect to time then followed by a co-ordinate transform and a mathematical transform of the well-known advection}dispersion equation.

✦ Synopsis
In the second paper in the series, the boundary element method for analysing contaminant migration problems in homogeneous porous medium developed in the earlier paper by Leo and Booker is extended to the non-homogeneous porous media. This extension enables potential application in practical design of land"lls and in soils which cannot be idealized as being homogeneous. Conventional boundary element techniques are used to deal with non-homogeneity in that the non-homogeneous domain is approximated by a "nite number of homogeneous zones. The method may be used, for instance, in assessing the e!ectiveness of linear con"guration surrounding waste repositories.
