Use Case about Pesticides in Groundwater (GEUS)

This use case shall make it possible for users to find areas where there are high concentrations of pesticides in the groundwater. It could be either pesticide in general or specific pesticides. It shall also be possible to restrict the output to pesticides found at a certain depth interval and/or from certain geology (lithology or lithostratigraphy). Combining these data with the land use or information about the amounts of pesticides applied to the same areas and the surface geology (or even better 3D geological models) can give important information about the vulnerability of the aquifers.

Potential users include NGOs, EEA, national environmental authorities, national or European environmental portals and researchers.
