The use of shallow geothermal energy (SGE) systems to acclimatize
buildings has increased exponentially in the Netherlands and
worldwide. In certain areas, SGE systems are constructed in
aquifers also used for drinking water supply raising the question
of potential groundwater quality impact. Impacts of Shallow
Geothermal Energy on Groundwater Quality provides a hydrochemical
and geomicrobial overview of the effects of ground source heat
pumps and aquifer thermal energy storage. The area is investigated
with field and laboratory experiments, and reactive transport
models, showing that shallow geothermal energy systems can
influence groundwater quality in a number of ways. Most prominent
in open ground source heating systems operating at low temperature
(<20 DegreesC) is the physical mixing of deep and shallow
groundwater of different quality distorting the natural water
quality stratification in aquifers. At a temperature of 25 DegreesC
and beyond certain trace elements were observed to mobilize in
laboratory experiments, and beyond 40 DegreesC redox conditions
change significantly while the microbial community shift towards a
thermophilic community. Based on the results of this research,
guidelines are presented for monitoring and permitting of SGE
systems. The book is a useful resource for regulators of these
systems, water companies and installers of the SGE systems. Author:
