objective:
The main objective of work package 4 is to develop a sustainable management concept for drinking water production including its treatment. The design is carried out under consideration of technical measures (groundwater monitoring, extraction, treatment), the natural and ecological boundary conditions, the economic efficiency, the effects on society (e.g. quality of life). Couplings to the other work packages exist at different interfaces.
Content:
Work package 4 focuses on modelling and simulating the behaviour of the groundwater system based on the current situation - always with a view to model-based calculation of control decisions using possibly simplified control models by applying appropriate system-engineering methods including optimisation techniques. The model will be created and validated on the basis of the data measured and still to be measured in the Darkhan region. The results will consist of regimes for the sustainable use of groundwater in the form of upper limits and their temporal variability for the subsequent drinking water distribution process, taking into account different boundary conditions.
