Water management conclusions from a reference-date sampling of a 225 km2 catchment area in the NW Tauern Window, Austria
2020
Overview
As in other Alpine regions, in the Zillertal Alps drinking water is typically supplied privately or in cooperatives from nearby springs. An amendment of the Austrian Drinking Water Ordinance led to a reduction of the aresenic limit from 50 µg/l to 10 µg/l, so that some waters no longer meet the requirements. Measures have to be taken to ensure compliance. In this study, the Zemmbach catchment (225 km²) is examined to provide a reference-date measurement. Within eleven days, 135 springs and creeks were sampled to identify appropriate springs, especially regarding concentrations of arsenic and uranium. Locally the groundwater quality differs due to various changes of petrographic units. The applied concept is appropriate to provide a broad overview of the groundwater quality and to identify springs suitable to augment drinking water supply. However, these springs have to be observed more intensively over a longer period of time, in order to ultimately assess their suitability as a drinking water source.
