Rapport de synthèse des travaux et résultats obtenus dans le cadre du projet FP6 AquaTerra et relatifs à l’étude hydrogéologique et la modélisation numérique écoulement – transport pour le site de l’ancienne cokerie de Flémalle

In the framework of Workpackage BASIN R3 Meuse, the Hydrology Group of the University of Liège (Belgium) has worked on two case studies for end-users in the Walloon region of Belgium. The first case study deals with the problem of nitrate contamination of the Hesbaye chalk aquifer located in the Geer basin, in the region of Liège. This research is of major interest for the Groundwater Division of the Administration for Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources of the Walloon region as a support to reporting in the scope of the EU Water Directive. The second case study deals with a problem of soil and groundwater pollution of the alluvial aquifer of the river Meuse in the brownfield of a former coke factory in Flémalle, near the city of Liège. This research is of major interest as a support to decision making in terms of site cleanup and rehabilitation as managed by SPAQuE, the public society in charge of managing contaminated sites in the Walloon region of Belgium.
This deliverable is a compilation of specific final reports written in French that have been delivered to these end-users (DGARNE Groundwater Division and SPAQuE), as a support to decision-making with respect to the environmental issues they have to manage.
