Comparing the sustainability of active and passive groundwater containment systems for the treatment of PFAS plumes
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (12/2024)
Two approaches can be used to stop a PFAS plume: hydraulic containment or passive filtration. Hydraulic containment is an ex situ method where groundwater is pumped above ground to create a hydraulic barrier, a.k.a. a capture zone, in the aquifer that the plume cannot move beyond.

UK Water Body Management Planning in Times of Brexit: Slow De-Europeanisation?
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2023)
This article investigates the extent to which the English and Scottish approaches to water body management planning in times of Brexit constitute a slow De- Europeanisation of law- and policymaking in this field. The article’s starting point is theWater Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (‘WFD’ or ‘Directive’)which requires the EU Member States tomanage both surface water bodies and groundwater ‘with the aimof achieving’ good statuswithin a specified timeframe.

Development of physical-biological filters for groundwater remediation of
tetrachlorethen and naphthalene
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2022)
Groundwater contamination by anthropogenic organic compounds represent a serious threat to water resources, which therefore have to be remediated to be available for future use. In addition, such remediation actions are often time and cost intensive. Hence, the overall goal of the presented project is the development of a physical-biological ex-situ filter for their effective removal.

The Role of Law for Coastal Adaptation to Rising Sea Levels
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (11/2022)
Der Artikel beleuchtet die Rolle des Rechts für die Anpassung an den steigenden Meeresspiegel und einen zukunftsfähigen Küstenschutz. Die derzeitig u.a. in Deutschland vorherrschende Verteidigungsstrategie dürfte auf Dauer an ihre Grenzen stoßen, insbesondere aufgrund zukünftig zu erwartender Kostensteigerungen. Obwohl konkrete Anpassungsmaßnahmen stark von den örtlichen Gegebenheiten abhängen, ist eine Langzeitorientierung von Anpassungsstrategien insgesamt erforderlich. Dies hilft, Maladaptation und sog.

Ship Waste and Marine Litter Under the International Law of the Sea and International Environmental Law
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (11/2019)
Marine litter pollution of the marine environment is seen as one of the most pressing issues of our time. This is a very complex scientific and regulatory problem due to the longevity of the waste, which consists mainly of plastic. There are also many uncertainties and gaps in our knowledge regarding its fate and effects in the marine environment.

Exposed Geomembrane System at Großer Mühldorfer See Dam
© Springer Vieweg | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH (6/2016)
Großer Mühldorfer See, a gravity dam owned by Verbund Hydro Power GmbH, will be part of Reisseck II pumped storage plant. The dam, 46.50 m high, has upstream prefabricated concrete slabs sealed with bituminous material and Kemperol strips requiring repeated repairs. A geomembrane system was installed to water tighten the dam and avoid maintenance. Among the challenges, the remote site location, the conditions of the facing and of the plinth, and the difficult climate. The article describes how design addressed such challenges and how installation was carried out to meet the objectives and deadlines.
