Scope – Terms and definitions – Literature review on pathways – Pilot areas and data collection plans: VoGERA Technical Report 1, WP 3

This report is the first deliverable for Work Package 3 of the VoGERA project (Vulnerability of Shallow Groundwater Resources to Deep Sub-surface Energy Related Activities). This work package seeks to better understand processes and pathways that may be associated with impacts on groundwater resources from energy-related activities in the subsurface. The report introduces the topic and provides a literature review. It describes the pilot areas that will be used to evaluate possible pathways in detail for several geological settings across Europe, identifies information gaps and presents a data collection plan for the following phase of the work package.
