Estimated natural background levels (NBLs) are needed to assess groundwater chemical status according the EU Groundwater Directive. They commonly derived for different substances by applying statistical methodologies. Due complexity of sea water intrusion process, some those methods do not always provide appropriate assessment chloride NBLs. This paper analyzes applicability NBL estimation in five coastal aquifers with significant differences available datasets and hydrogeological settings....
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires EU member states to assess the chemical status of groundwater bodies, a defined according threshold values for harmful elements and based on/the natural background level (NBL). NBL is as expected value concentration naturally present in environment. aim this study propose methodology that will be broadly applicable wide range conditions at regional national scale. Using statistical approach, seeks determine NBLs SO4, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, F on...
The European energy market must move quickly to achieve the decarbonization objectives of economy in 2030-2050, including domestic and tertiary sectors. In this context, for Surface Geothermal Energy (SGE) is growing rapidly due its applicability almost any geological climatic conditions. area city Girona (Catalonia, NE Spain), one urban areas Catalonia where SGE progressing more rapidly, but mainly focused on closed-loop (CL) geothermal heat pump systems despite existing potential open-loop...
<p>In order to assess the anthropogenic impacts on groundwater quality we generally need identify natural conditions or Natural background levels (NBLs) within systems, which are used as references evolution of contamination status. This information, in addition threshold values (TVs), derived from NBLs and based specific criteria for legitimate water uses environment (terrestrial aquatic ecosystems), is required appropriately chemical status accordance with European Water...
