Abstract
A detailed study of groundwater flow and solute transport is proposed in the area of the Union Brewery water body with the intention of a) assessing and predicting the movement of groundwater and urban contaminants through the unsaturated or/and saturated zone of the Pleistocene gravel aquifer and of b) analysing the risk of contaminat transport to drinking-water resources in the lower Pleistocene gravel aquifer. The results of a practical and experimental work will be processed and modelled with the help of computer tools to simulate transport, accumulation and wash-off of pollutants in the study area. This will provide the ability to conduct the scenario simulations, and thus to predict events and to develop a protection strategy.
