T-GROUP

What are current and historic multi-scale groundwater use-regimes and multi-level governance arrangements, how were and are power structures and power dynamics present in these areas, and how do financial and economic factors come into play? These are the more social, governance, institutional and socio-economic types of questions we asked ourselves. From the environmental and natural sciences point of view, we aimed to unravel complex urban groundwater flow systems and patterns in pathogen distributions in aquifers using next generation DNA sequencing techniques and qPCR techniques.
