Your job
Society increasingly relies on groundwater pumping for seasonal energy storage, geothermal energy, drinking water production, urban development, and climate change mitigation. To pump and infiltrate groundwater, the placement of a well and positioning within the local stratigraphical sequence are essential to ensure capacity and longevity. In Utrecht, the uppermost aquifer is extensively used for Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) systems ...
