Piezometer drilling as part of the Epukarst project - studying nitrate concentration fluctuations in five limestone aquifers over 4 years. The drillings will provide a better understanding of the aquifer, in particular by monitoring the water table and hydrochemical analyses focusing on nitrates.

The Thames Tunnel, designed by Marc and his son Isambard Brunel in the early 19th century, was the first successful tunnel under a navigable river! โตโต
