Sustainable systems for underground storage of drinking water
Supervisors and collaborators:
Duration: 2009-2013
Funding: TTIW Programme Register 'Interaction with Natural Systems'.
Research questions
- Identification and quantification of hydrogeochemical processes which deteriorate the quality of the abstracted water (focusing on pyritiferous aquifers in the Netherlands)
- Optimization of natural subsurface treatment of water during ASR applications.
- Implementation of reactive transport models able to predict the abstracted water quality with subsequent ASR cycles
