A tool for assessing contaminated sites and their impact on groundwater.
GrundRisk is a system used to support risk assessments of contaminated sites and their potential threats to groundwater. The tool is primarily used by the regions and consultants working with soil contamination, but can also be used in private pollution cases and voluntary investigations. The system is designed to be a decision support tool in assessments of the risk of groundwater pollution, which makes it an obvious tool in environmental management.
GrundRisk is divided into two parts: a screening part and a risk assessment part. The screening part performs automatic calculations based on standard values and local geology, while the risk assessment part is used to make more detailed assessments for specific sites where pollution studies have been carried out.
The tool also allows regions to search for and analyse specific sites, which makes it possible to prioritise areas of action.
For regions and authorities
GrundRisk is a tool for regions that need to manage the risks of contaminated sites. It helps identify and assess threats to groundwater by analyzing data on local pollution and geology. Regions can search for information on mapped sites and perform specific calculations for each site. For example, a region can use GrundRisk to assess the risk of contaminated sites affecting the groundwater, which can help prioritise remediation measures.
For private advisers
Advisers can access a "calculation machine" in the system, which makes it possible to carry out risk assessments without access to the full data on the regions' locations. This is particularly useful in private pollution cases or voluntary investigations. An environmental consultant can use the "calculation machine" to carry out risk assessments of private land and advise owners on the extent of the pollution and necessary measures.
With GrundRisk, regions and consultants get a support tool to ensure a systematic and data-based assessment of the risk of contaminated sites. It is an important tool in the work of protecting groundwater i Denmark.
