Groundwater Age Determination Feasibility Study for Nitrate Reduction Measures

This German (Dessau-Roßlau) tender requires a contractor to conduct a feasibility study regarding groundwater age determination. The purpose is to assess the viability of using this information to optimise nitrate reduction measures. Practically, this will likely involve hydrological modelling, isotope analysis (though specifics are absent), and a literature review of existing data on groundwater in the region. Expect to produce a report outlining suitable methodologies for age determination, assessing their cost-effectiveness, and evaluating their applicability to nitrate reduction strategies.

The absence of CPV codes and specific regional information makes assessing the project's precise scale challenging. However, being a feasibility study, it’s unlikely to involve significant on-site work beyond sampling. The "general" trade classification suggests a broad range of eligible bidders, from environmental consultancies to specialized hydrogeological firms. Given the focus on a specific area (Dessau-Roßlau), the geographical scope is probably limited to the immediate vicinity. The study will be complex scientifically due to the nature of groundwater age estimation.
