GEO/2002-2003 – Analysis and valorisation of long term hydrogeological time series of groundwater levels

Keywords

Groundwater, piezometer measurements, time series, aquifer-evolution

Objectives

The analysis of the evolution of the groundwaterlevel in some piezometers measured on a regular basis and during a long period of time. These analysed piezometerdata will organised by aquifer and interpreted in order to describe the evolution of some aquifers and to explain the data by meteorological variations, groundwater withdrawal and eventually by other influences.

Realisation

From the 750 piezometric datasets, measured or collected by the GSB, only the data composing long time series ( > 20 y) are selected. The spectral analysis of these series are to be compared with meteorological data. This way factors influencing the piezometerlevels are isolated. The most likely influencing factors are then compared between all the datasets. From this analysis general conclusions will be drawn on the individual piezometers and after mutual comparison also on each aquifer.

Budget

Financed by proper means GSB/KBIN.
