Groundwater protection

RWE Power International can assist you in carefully managing groundwater to ensure a suitable supply of groundwater in the short and long term. RWE analyses 2,000 groundwater samples each year for its own operations at its own laboratories using cutting-edge technology.

Groundwater is becoming an increasingly precious resource. The demand for groundwater is steadily growing, while contamination from human activities is placing ever higher pressure on groundwater supplies.

We draw on extensive experience in deep dewatering, groundwater infiltration, acid mine drainage mitigation and groundwater modelling of deep and complex aquifers to help you manage your groundwater supplies.

Quality as well as quantity of the groundwater is of vital importance, especially to organisations supplying water for public consumption.

Our groundwater specialists provide you with:

  • groundwater environmental regulation studies
  • groundwater monitoring
  • groundwater remediation
  • water management schemes
  • aquifer re-infiltration
  • aquifer monitoring programs
  • aquifer particle trace modelling
  • hazard substance propagation modelling with PHREEQE techniques
  • saline water encroachment studies
