Integrated geophysical/hydrogeological study in the Danish-German border region – An Interreg project

As groundwater reservoirs are crossing national boundaries transnational efforts are required to ensure a sustainable use and an effective protection of these water resources. This is the background of a Danish-German project for the mapping of aquifers and covering layers in the border region Sønderjylland / northern Schleswig-Holstein (Fig. 1). This project was funded by the European Community under the INTERREG-programme. The use of geophysical methods to establish a geological model of the project area is shown in this paper.
