Drilling campaign in Stuttgart-Feuerbach

A drilling of two deep groundwater wells in Stuttgart-Feuerbach has been initiated. Shallow aquifers are contaminated with CHC, which may endanger the groundwater quality of deeper aquifers. The aim of the drilling campaign is to investigate the possible vertical interaction between contaminated shallow and deeper aquifers, as well as to determine the flow pathway in deep aquifers. The new wells shall be included in the integral monitoring network of Stuttgart. The integral monitoring network shall consist of representative wells, enable the description of overall contaminant situation in the corresponding city districts and keep the monitoring cost-effective
