QST 2: "Monitoring concepts
Responsible: Prof. Dr. Licha (RUB), Prof. Dr. Hollert (Uni Frankfurt)
The cross-sectional topic "Monitoring concepts" is about the selection of parameters (chemical, biological/ecological, geological, physical) in order to define possible indicators for monitoring. This will involve a move away from individual analyses to indicator-based groundwater monitoring. An effects-based assessment is considered an important component. Furthermore, aspects of data management and data flows are of importance. Practicability, cost-effectiveness considerations as well as cost and benefit aspects are also to be taken into account.
