Hydrogeological models are schematised depictions of the fundamental system properties of a study area. The models display essential parameters, coherences as well as relevant processes within a hydrogeological system. On the basis of such a conceptual perception, processes can be described and prognoses about the system development can be made.

The project aims at the development of a hydrogeological model of the Devonian karst aquifers of the eastern right-Rhine Rhenish Slate Mountains. The objective of the hydrogeological modeling is to make a contribution to an improved understanding of the regional overall system and to generate a sound basis of assessment for future issues.
