Groundwater: how we make the underground visible and predictable<\/h1>\n

Groundwater is one of the most important sources for our drinking water, agriculture, industry, and nature. Measurements show worrying trends for groundwater in Belgium. Both quantity and quality are under pressure. Groundwater modelling is an essential tool to address these challenges.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Human and climate impact<\/h2>\n

By 2050, we can expect higher water levels in winter due to more precipitation. In summer, lower water levels will occur due to less precipitation and more evaporation. By 2030, the impact on nature and agriculture<\/strong> will be visible. Measurements predict that 10% of agricultural land will feel this in crop yields\u2009\u2013\u2009which will increase to 30% by 2100. Crops with limited root depth, such as potatoes, vegetables, herbs, ornamentals, forage crops, and grasses, in particular, will be impacted.<\/p>\n

In addition, several sectors withdraw water from the soil, which does not find its way back to the reservoir through the hydrological cycle. Besides the declining buffer, groundwater is also affected by diffuse pollution, largely from agriculture. This affects groundwater quality, with implications for the health of ecosystems and ourselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Safeguarding the water supply is therefore crucial.<\/p>\n

Analyses, models, and simulations<\/h3>\n

Groundwater is invisible, mysterious, and difficult to capture. With soil and water analyses, mathematical models, and simulations<\/a>, our certified groundwater modellers and geohydrological experts accurately map underground water flows. We predict behaviour under different conditions so that you can base your decisions on the most reliable information.<\/p>\n

A multidisciplinary team provides integrated and sustainable solutions<\/a> to optimise water management<\/a>, tailored to the specific context of each project. Our high-quality services prevent problems such as water shortage and pollution damage, help you make processes more efficient<\/strong> and save<\/strong> costs<\/strong>, and anticipate future challenges.<\/p>\n

Safeguarding the future<\/h3>\n

Droughts, floods, and groundwater pollution pose direct threats to both urban and rural areas. With our broad expertise, in-depth experience, and solid market position, we contribute to sustainable management of the water supply, ensuring future generations have sufficient water.<\/p>\n

Contact us to make the best use of groundwater as an indispensable link in a healthy water chain.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
