Abstract

The primary reason for monitoring the groundwater is to preserve and improve the aquatic environment and to ensure the drinking water supply, which in Denmark is based almost entirely on groundwater. Monitoring of the amount and quality of the groundwater is also of considerable importance for the quality of the water in the inland surface waters, especially the watercourses, and, in the final analysis, also for the quality of the marine environment. There are therefore
special reasons to protect and monitor the groundwater.
