Abstract
Groundwater, resources, hidden secrets from the past... The subsurface contains all this and has consequently attracted the attention of engineers, geologists and many others. Groundwater has always served as a major source of drinking water and its protection is and will remain a top-priority task, not only for arid regions, but for all countries worldwide. Recently, however, the subsurface has received increasing attention from environmental engineering. There are several reasons for this, one of the most prominent being the transition in energy-supply technologies from fossil-fuel-dominated sources to those of sustainable energy (German: Energiewende).
