Abstrakt
Experience and results from the Danish groundwater monitoring programme
that has been carried out systematically since 1990, have been used in a
co-operative project between Latvia and Denmark. The main objective of
the project was to obtain more detailed knowledge of the shallow Latvian
groundwater, to optimise the Latvian groundwater monitoring programme
and to support the implementation of European legislation such as the
Water Framework Directive, the Nitrate Directive and the Groundwater
Directive in Latvia. Comprehensive summaries describing the methodology
of groundwater quality monitoring as well as the major results from the
Danish groundwater monitoring network can be found in GEUS (2005) and
Stockmarr (2005). Until recently only few data on Latvian groundwater
quality were available, but in a project running from 2003 to 2006, 800
samples from groundwater, springs and drains have been analysed for a
large number of components resulting in a comprehensive overview of the
status of Latvian groundwater (Fig. 1; Gosk et al. 2006). The
project Agricultural influence on groundwater in Latvia was carried out
by the State Geological Survey of Latvia and the Geological Survey of
Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and was supported by the Danish
Environmental Protection Agency within the framework of the DANCEE
programme (Danish Co-operation for Environment in Eastern Europe). As a
spin-off of the project this paper compares groundwater quality in the
two countries.
