Retention and degradation processes to reduce contaminations in groundwater and soil (kora)

Abstract

The overall goal of KORA (supported by the Federal Ministry of Education an Research, BMBF) is to investigate natural attenuation (NA) processes for consideration in contaminated land management.The funding priority is focused on the results of international research, especially from the U.S.A. The research contains investigations of biological, (hydro-) geological and chemical processes in soil and groundwater under different environmental conditions and delivers insight into legal issues and acceptance of official bodies and the general public.
