This study focuses on the shallow aquifer of the city of Munich, Germany, examining it in terms of urban land use classes (dense and discontinuous sealed surfaces, parks, forests, and agricultural sites) and typical physical and chemical measures used in standardised groundwater monitoring. In addition, the groundwater quality assessment is complemented by selected microbiological indicators. The objective of the study was to evaluate if physical, chemical and microbiological variables are suited for a routine groundwater monitoring in an ecological manner and if they show the same distribution patterns in an urban environment.
