Prognosis of the surface water and groundwater balance of the Lottenbachtal, Bochum, Germany
- The effects of anthropogenic and geogenic factors on the quantity and the quality of the water balance, in the Lottenbachtal, were investigated in this study. Many experiments were conducted to achieve this purpose. These include collecting and analysing long term climatic data, collecting and analysing water, soil and rock samples, collecting and analysing the anthropogenic materials from anthropogenic sources, observing and sampling the stream flow discharge, measuring the soil moisture and calculating the water balance. The results of these experiments show that the Lottenbachtal is significantly affected by abandoned coal mines and diversity of land use. These effects represent by additional loads of the chemical elements, which include calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, carbonate, iron, aluminium and zinc. The other effects are represented by increasing the direct surface runoff and decreasing the groundwater recharge.
