WP1 - Identification of problems and threats in the final pits

In this WP, previously flooded open pits will be chosen for gathering information about crucial factors that influence pit lakes during the flooding process. The specific objectives are:

  • Analyse archival data and previous designs regarding previously flooded pits,
  • Identify crucial geological factors which can influence the flooding process,
  • Conduct in-situ surveys of the base and slopes of flooded artificial reservoirs,
  • Compare archival designs to current situations (including issues during flooding) in artificial lakes.
