Hydrogeological and hydrochemical characteristics of North Peloponnesus major ground water bodies

During the period 2004-2008 a hydrogeological investigation project was conducted by an IGME/Hydrogeology Department team in the area of North Peloponnesus, funded by the 3rd EU Framework Directive budget. In 2008 using the results of this investigation and implementing article 5 of Water Framework Directive 60/2000/EU as well as articles of Ground Water Directive 2006/118/EU, eleven ground water bodies (management units) were able to be identified in this area. Using the DPSIR criteria six of them found to be needed further characterization and two out of these six were concluded not to be able to fulfil the required good (quantitative and chemical) groundwater status by 2015. All these results are presented here.
