Focused on hydrogeological methods, this research paper details a field course integral to the MSc TropHEE program at the Technical University of Darmstadt. It complements a prior Water Analysis Course by emphasizing practical skills in water sampling and measurement of various parameters such as temperature, pH, and ion concentrations. The report serves as documentation for the fieldwork conducted, reiterating the significance of hands-on experience in understanding hydrogeological concepts and methodologies.

The report details the Water Analysis exercises, part of the Hydrogeological Methods module in the MSc TropHEE program. Initially scheduled for the first semester, these exercises were postponed to the second semester due to laboratory capacity issues. The course aims to prepare students for the upcoming Hydrogeological Field Course, emphasizing practical skills in water analysis within the context of hydrogeology. The report reflects a high academic standard, achieving a grade of 1.0 at the Technical University of Darmstadt.

The study investigates groundwater extraction in the northern German lowlands, focusing on a proposed factory's plan to pump 70 cubic meters of clean water per hour despite nearby contamination from a landfill. It examines the geological context, including two parallel faults that significantly influence groundwater flow, particularly in the uppermost layer with the highest conductivity. A MODFLOW model was employed to simulate the groundwater system, assessing the feasibility of the extraction while considering the area's hydrological dynamics.
