Abstract :
[en] This deliverable provide a description of hydrogeological equipment available, hydrogeological tests and monitoring carried out up to now or planned for the next months to better understand hydrodynamic conditions pollutant transfer mechanisms in the gravel alluvial aquifer of the river Meuse and to assess groundwater– surface water interactions in the Flémalle former cokery test site.
The monitoring campaign and the experiments are performed using existing and recently drilled piezometers in the site. Up to now, continuous groundwater level monitoring, Meuse river water level monitoring, pumping tests and tracer tests have been carried out. They have already confirmed that the gravel aquifer is drained by the Meuse river.
