Description
Groundwater is the result of the percolation of rainfall and the infiltration of river water. Groundwater levels and spring discharges therefore respond – though possibly with a delay – to precipitation events and dry spells. The state and variation of groundwater and spring discharges are recorded within the framework of the QUANT module of the NAQUA National Groundwater Monitoring. The monitoring network of the QUANT module consists of some 100 monitoring sites and is operated by the FOEN in close collaboration with cantonal authorities.
