Institute for Joint Geoscientific Research Conclusion —Present-day groundwater recharge by the Nile river is about 20% of the pumping rate. —Mainly fossil groundwater is pumped for the drinking water supply recharged some 4000 yr BP. —The piezometric surface is mainly the relict of the palaeo-groundwater.

Institute for Joint Geoscientific Research Conclusion —Recharge occurred between 16,000 to 4000 yr BP. —Recharge rate was about 5 mm/yr in the past while that of today is around 1 mm/yr. —Recharge occurred from innundations of the Old Hakra River.

Institute for Joint Geoscientific Research Bandung, Indonesia

Institute for Joint Geoscientific Research —Are the Lembang and Bandung Basins hydraulically connected ? —How large is the vulnerability to pollute the fesh water resources ? Drinking Water for Bandung

Institute for Joint Geoscientific Research

Institute for Joint Geoscientific Research Conclusion — More than 30% of the pumped water is recharged in the Lembang Basin. — The residence time of the pumped ground- water ranges from 1000 to 10,000 yr.
