[en] Charbonnages de France (CdF) and Deutsche Steinkohle AG (DSK) has mandated the ANTEA/DMT working group to draw up a trans-border groundwater / mining reservoir coupling model for the Center-East sector. This coupling makes it possible to calculate pumping flows, according to pressure losses between mines, in order to prevent brackish water intrusion from mines to the Lower Triassic Sandstones aquifer.
