On the origin of nitrate in a spring catchment area.
Using stable isotope technique coupled with UV spectral sensors, tracer hydrogeology and modeling should help to identify nitrate sources, its origin and possible microbial conversion in the subsurface.
Clarification of the issues of reduced nitrate concentration in groundwater will support turning the source waters to future use as a drinking water resource.
This projekt will be performed in cooperation with the WWA Donauwörth.
