Objectives
The principal objective of this WP is to monitor transmission losses
through the river bed during flood events in order to estimate rates of
groundwater recharge. In order to achieve this the status and behaviour
of the surface and subsurface hydrological system will be monitored
during flood events.
Newly developed technology will be used that enables monitoring of the deep vadose zone.
