Geochemical characterization of subsurface sediments in the Netherlands

Traditionally, the Netherlands' subsurface is mainly used to obtain good quality drinking and industrial waters from the different aquifers. Due to the lack of space on the surface, increasing environmental problems and demand for energy, the subsurface will be used increasingly for other activities, including large underground infrastructural projects, underground storage of waste and greenhousegasses and underground storage capacity for the energy sector.In order to evaluate the effects of the underground activities, detailed knowledge about the subsurface sediments is required.
