The MAGIC project is focussed on the clean up of complex damages in large groundwater bodies. In particular the common situation of multiple pollution sources in derelict areas requires innovative pro-cedures instead of the conventional single-case treatment. Thus key feature of MAGIC is to further develop the innovative, integral, emission-orientated management approach developed in the FP5 RTD-p ...
