Groundwater Protection Zones

In model experiments carried out in the laboratory the survival of bacteria in groundwater kept at 10±l °C was tested. Only two of the tested bacteria species did not survive longer than 10 - 30 days. Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other pathogenic or facultative pathogenic bacteria survived up to 100 days or even more in ground-water with or without the addition of sand from an aquifer. These results can be of importance for determining groundwater protection zones.

Hydrogeological Mapping

Contamination of groundwater with pesticides and nitrate has compelled the Danish Government to launch a major hydrogeological mapping programme covering about 40% of the land area of Denmark. Numerous geophysical surveys are currently being carried out in order to acquire the necessary data. These new data are crucial for the 3-D geological models that are used in the planning of future water supply and landuse. Normally, site-specific groundwater protection zones (Thomsen et al. 2004) are based on groundwatermodelled catchment areas for each well, but proper 3-D geological models are needed in order to create a valid basis for the groundwater models. Since most of the Danish nearsurface geology is complex, a full geological understanding is required combined with in-depth interpretation of geological and geophysical data.
