About

Personal key words: sustainable and renewable, our world, smart solutions to complex problems in hydrology, hydro chemistry and geo-statistics

Recent activities:
Groundwater storage Thailand: Asian Development Bank funded initiative to store monsoon water in aquifers to recharge aquifers for dry season application

Groundwater management large infra: OpenIJ (Sea Lock IJMuiden), Amstelveenlijn VITAL, SAAOne aquaduct Muiden, Team0031 Zuidas, OpenIJ, Rijnlandroute 

Groundwater modelling and site analysis of deep groundwater pollution sites as Vetgasfabriek (former gaswork), DOK Dordrecht Amersfoort etc. Solute transport modelling to incorporate more detailed the deeper aquifers. 


Suriname Boskalis Lelydorp Bauxite mine water management and mining hydrology

Fresh water/ potable water production from groundwater: modelling, pump test analysis, etc.

Gerhard has worked in many (ground)water projects all over Europe. From Bulgaria and Poland (WFD projects) to Israel, Belgium and Germany. Basic skills developed in large infrastructural projects like de Pannerdens canal tunnel, Hanzelijn, the Tel Aviv Red Line metro (for VINCI) and the former chemical waste dump Diemerzeedijk Amsterdam. Sustainable energy projects: Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES, wko, warmte koude opslag). Experience with designing, optimizing and trouble shooting
Groundwater en groundwater modelling with codes like Modflow/Mt3d Microfem etc is routine.

Another part of my skills is geostatistics. Starting with the remediation of the EXPO98 site in Lisboa. And a thorough geo-statistical research for the Noordzeekanaal and the Europe wide OSPAR project concerning marine litter.
