Groundwater
With our numerous years of experience and expertise in hydrogeology and water management, the Groundwater group focuses on sustainably managing groundwater resources, determining how climate change affects drinking water production, and performing health risk assessments for groundwater and well management. We focus on groundwater as a resource, and in particular how it interacts with surface water through bank filtration.
We collect field data and develop monitoring concepts tailored to the respective issue. With the help of data analyses and modelling, we simulate qualitative and quantitative processes and calculate the impact on groundwater. Using our expertise, we aim to improve understanding of the importance of groundwater.
