No two water bodies or aquifers are similar. Their utilisation requires that their individual physical, geological, chemical and ecological qualities and behaviour are known. Quality, quantity and ecology as well as future behaviour need to be investigated. From flood protection to aquifer exploitation the only reasonable way to forecast future behaviour is very often modelling. The key to reasonable model accuracy is careful calibration with at-site measurements and investigations.

A multitude of urban areas in different parts of the globe have become victims of severe flooding in recent years. The level of awareness within the responsible agencies about the necessity to protect the population from these situations is rising.
