Environmental Tracers and Compartment Modeling – Using Water Quality to Explore Groundwater Flow Systems

Objective/Goals: Gain knowledge on groundwater flow systems using environmental isotopes and hydrochemical data. The methods are introduced, and the application to aquifer systems in Namibia is presented (Kuiseb, Grootfontein, Stampriet basin).
This professional course will be given by Prof. Dr. C. Külls as part of the MiWaEDUNet education and training program series. The 1st seminar by TH Lübeck will focus on environmental tracer tools as part of enviromental impact assessments, environmentally safe mining operation, and post-mining mitigation measures.
