Geosphere

Handling

Explanation of how the FEP is treated

Excavation/operation: Neglected since expected electrical potential fields are too small to affect groundwater flow or solute transport. Temperate: Neglected since expected electrical potential fields are too small to affect groundwater flow or solute transport. Periglacial: Neglected since expected electrical potential fields are too small to affect groundwater flow or solute transport. Glacial: Neglected since expected electrical potential fields are too small to affect groundwater flow or solute transport. Earthquakes: Not relevant.
