Project 1-1-08-06/07: Assessment and management of groundwater fauna at contaminated sites

Project Leader: Dr Grant Hose

Project Duration: February 2007 - January 2010

Project Summary

The project aims to provide guidance on the sampling and assessment of groundwater fauna in and around contaminated sites, develop protocols for the assessment of groundwater toxicity using indigenous groundwater adapted fauna, derive NEPC acceptable guidelines to maintain the health of groundwater ecosystems and human groundwater consumers, and provide scientifically defensible targets for groundwater remediation for priority contaminants.
