Abstract

In Jyderup, a city in the state of West Zealand in Denmark, two water wells of an underground water supply network, set-up about twenty years ago, are less than a hundred meters away from a deserted color factory. Considering the authority of chief officials of the Environmental Organization of West Zealand, a simple question was to be answered: is there a danger of contamination of underground water wells due to chemical substances released by the factory? If so, is there the possibility of removing these contaminations by digging new wells and extracting polluted underground water?
