Abstract

Groundwater is by far the most frequent receptor at risk from contaminated sites. Between 1989, when the Law for Cleanup of Contaminated Sites (ALSAG) was implemented in Austria, and 2006 the remediation of contaminated sites enabled a qualitative amelioration of groundwater bodies of about 46 million m3. Remediation targets cannot always be met. Ecologically practicable solutions have to be adapted to the site conditions given.
