Abstract
Although hydrogeological conditions can be of interest per se, most of hydrogeological investigations are of applied nature, and their results are used in decision-making that may carry large ecological and financial risks. For example, when developing a reservoir project, the developers have to evaluate possible losses of water from the reservoir, stability of the dam and how the adjacent soils and rocks could be affected by different project decisions.
