PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
The aims of the project are the development and the realisation of an innovative and comprehensive monitoring-system for the permanent control of the ground water. This will be used to verify EU guidelines for the protection of ground water and drinking water. It will also serve as a pilot project for the installation of similar monitoring systems in other cities across Europe. The steps for the development, implementing and testing of a comprehensive system for ground water monitoring, consist of: - a network of about 330 - 350 hydro-geological representative ground water measuring-sites, - a multi-stage analytical programme for measuring ground water quality and the detection of possible contamination, - a user-orientated computer program for storing, processing and interpreting the data As a European pilot project, the intention is to demonstrate an ecological, efficient and economical system for permanently monitoring ground water.
