NOWE WYZWANIA W HYDROGEOLOGII – EUROPEJSKI PROJEKT FP7 GENESIS

Abstract

NEW CHALLENGES IN HYDROGEOLOGY – EUROPEAN FP7 PROJECT GENESISAbstract. The paper briefly describes the European FP7 project GENESIS and lessons learned from the Polish case studies involved into the project. The most important are the role of time scales in understanding the groundwater flow system and environmental water requirements. Simple conceptual models are very important for time scale presentation. More sophisticated numerical modeling needs new methods of uncertainty control. One of them shown in the paper is calibration of flow and transport models with the aid of tracers in steps related to available data and age ranges.
