Ground water processes

Characterisation of the matter transport and matter conversions in the surface-near Pleistocene aquifers of the North-East German lowland, especially in theUckermark region, and determination of flow paths and flow times for the ground water transit from feeding areas into discharge areas (lowlands, wetlands, depressions, water bodies).

Study areas for hydrodynamic and hydrochemical process and behaviour analyses are derived from results of hydro-geological explorations of the aquifer structures. Knowledge of the hydraulic and hydrochemical situation is of fundamental significance for hydrological area analyses with regard to the basic outflows predominant in the Pleistocene.In particular, sensible processes, such as the formation of redox fronts, may sustainingly influence the spatio-temporal evolution of matter conversion processes. The works are aimed at clarifying the hydro-chemical processes, at balancing the environment-dependent matter conversions in the ground water, as well as at the quantification of the shares of ground water in the matter discharge from the area taking into account drainage, surface runoff and intermediate outflow.
