Description

The project aims to:
- To characterize the groundwater flow and its quality, through the combination of hydraulic, chemical and modeling methods to reduce overall uncertainty in flux and reaction rates estimates.
- To assess the retention function and the potential for leaching of natural soils from the karst area using standard species.
- To create an inventory of the groundwater biodiversity in each hydrogeographic basin of the Estremenho karst massif.
