Tool summary

Name of the tool
Environmental indicator for ground water monitoring

Description of the tool
This set of indicators has been specifically developed for the French urban project “Porte des Alpes” (Lyon) in accordance with the French water police to check if the water infrastructures and facilities in the site (lakes, infiltration systems, etc) have an effect on the ground water pollution. The objectives of such environmental indicators set are both to follow the effluent quality and the effect on different bodies (lakes, soil, groundwater) and also to be able to define corrective and preventive actions.

These indicators concern:
- quality of effluents: BOD (Biologic Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), KN (Kjeldahl Nitrogen), and total hydrocarbons
- quality of ground water: conductivity, TOC (Total Carbon Organic) , KN, nitrates, hydrocarbons, nitrate pesticides and heavy metals.
