💧We track water. Talking about hydrology and hydrogeology - dye tracing🔦🧪 - groundwater & surface water - karst & caves.

We're Dr. Amaël Poulain (Hydrogeologist), Sofie de Volder (Business dev) & Maurel Landry Leunte (Assistant hydrogeologist)

Me cleaning my shoes on the mat after a field visit...😅🥾

It's time for a tracer test! 💧🧪 I love it when there's a tracer injection because it makes for great pictures 😅...but it's also our core expertise. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗮 𝗱𝘆𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘁 ♨️. Amaël and Maurel keep everything clean and don't waste a drop of dye during injection 👏😉!

Testing the bypass setup with our STREAM fluorometer to perform a fluorescent dye tracer test in a geothermal doublet. Looking neat 😉. #ATES #UTES

I love those summer sunrise monitoring moments ✨️ 😍

Water, wastage not allowed... Stop letting the water run 💧🚰 🔹️🔹️🔹️ On a random publicity board in Namur, Belgium. I have no idea who is responsible for the posters, but I like it 🙌.

Our intern and job student Maurel presented his internship report this morning. It was the final step to obtain his degree in Hydrogeology. Congratulations Maurel and welcome to the TRAQUA team. 🙌

New handbook on karst! The timing couldn't be better. After the wonderful Eurokarst 2024 conference in Rome last week, The Groundwater Project just released a new handbook on 'Karst: Environment and Management of Aquifers', freely available on their website via this link ▶️ lnkd.in/erkPGrny

You are not stuck in traffic. You are the traffic.

Short story on TRAQUA's expertise for RTL tvi "Waldorado". Hydrogeology expert Amaël Poulain explains how we can reduce the risk of flooding by slowing down and infiltrating #rainwater. The potential for temporisation is analysed by performing a fluorescent dye tracer test.

This is totally fine. "Shell sold millions of carbon credits tied to CO₂ removal that never took place to Canada’s largest oil sands companies, raising new doubts about a technology seen as crucial to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions."

Visiting the drill site of geothermal doublets in which we will perform our next fluorescent tracer test. They are currently hammer drilling through some hard rock at 150m depth. Impressive...an noisy 😅

I don’t think climate deniers appreciate how much energy it takes to warm the Earth by 1°C.

TRAQUA was happy to provide the 15(!) compact STREAM fluorometers 🔦for a tracer test 🧪💧 with a high spatial and temporal resolution for this research 👉 'Influence of karst conduit’s geometry and morphology on 3D flow and transport processes: Insights from 3D tracer tests and numerical modelling'

In honour of #worldwaterday I'd love to share this album 🎶, which coincidentally is also a tribute to the #water cycle. Christopher Tin's album 'The drop 💧 that contained the sea 🌊' follows the flow of water in 10 pieces, all sung in different language. ➡️ christophertin.com/albums/thedr...

It's International Women's Day 🩷. Let's celebrate what's been achieved, and not forget the work that still needs to be done to on the level of #genderequality, #reproductiverights, and violence against women. Special shoutout to my fellow ladies in STEM and Business breaking the #genderbias 😄🙌👩‍🎓👷‍♀️👩‍🏫👩‍🔧!

Dye tracer tests 🧪💧 at the Grand Canyon 🏞️! 💡 Scientists have conducted tracer tests on the N & S Rims of the Grand Canyon to analyse how the snow falling on the rims makes its way to #groundwater through rock formations, and the impact of climate change. 👉 www.grandcanyon.org/about/news/d...

FUN STORY - Absinthe 🍸, the unusual tracer 🧪... The Loue River in Franche-Comté is both a resurgence and a tributary of the Doubs River. However, hydrogeologists at the end of the 19th century had not been able to demonstrate this connection through the standard method using a dye tracer test.

Last week TRAQUA paid a visit to London with it's famous Thames River 🌊. But what about the water underground 💧?
