- Abstract
- Due to the high availability of quantities and the targeted withdrawal possibilities, bank filtrates play an increasingly important role in the Austrian water management. The spectrum ranges from use as cooling water in industry, agricultural irrigation to use in food production and water supply.
In order to be able to describe the microbiological dynamics in bank filtrates as comprehensively as possible, the MIBI-DU project will focus on various processes in the respective watercourse or bank passage. The processes and influences under consideration include in particular
- Consideration of different hydraulic and hydrogeological site influences (e.g. residence time in bank passages or soil-physical properties of the soil passage) by diversifying the extraction points within a site and between different sites
- Investigation of the influence of seasonality and hydrological dynamics in rivers (high water, low water, mean water) by studying three consecutive hydrological years
- The identification of essential input paths from point sources into the watercourse which can be detected until the time of sampling (e.g. sewage treatment plants or industrial waste water) by spatial differentiation of the sampling points along the watercourse
- Detailed examination of the individual sections along the bank passage (flowing waters - entry - bank passage - withdrawal)
- Influence of well operation (e.g. sampling rate or continuous or discontinuous sampling) by adapting the sampling times to the respective operating conditions
