Groundwater Risk Sources Identification and Risk Reduction Management in the Song-Liao-River-Basin

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chinese Water Systems

Part of the book series: Terrestrial Environmental Sciences ((TERENVSC))

Abstract

This deliverable reports the establishment of index system for groundwater source risk assessment in the SUSTAIN H2O project during the project’s 1st reporting period. Two demonstration areas in the SLRB were chosen: one in Ashi River Basin and the other in Taizi River Basin. Ashi River is a tributary of Songhua River and Taizi River is a tributary of Liao River. The consortium members have conducted several field surveys in the study areas and acquired first-hand information. Experts from Germany provided technologies and strategies on groundwater risk assessment in EU countries. This deliverable is the outcome of the internal and external collaborations that the consortium members have engaged in the context of the SUSTAIN H\({}_{2}\)O project.
