The new LIAG test site is located 20km north-eastern of Hannover in the North German Plain. 20 to 25m thick quaternary sediments are overlaying the Cretaceous` clays and marls. The Quaternary itself is built up by two middle sandy aquifers separated by a fine-grained till layer (Fig.1). Thin peat layers draw through the upper aquifer, while small calcium carbonate contents are colouring the lower aquifer greyish/greenish.

Besides numerous geophysical measurements (Fig. 2), drilling, pumping tests and continuous water level measurements are done at the test site. In addition to geological information and Borehole geophysics, different kinds of lab measurements are done at core samples material. Besides conventional lab measurements like grain size analysis, bulk density measurements  and hydraulic conductivity (K) measurements, innovative geophysical measurements in form of SIP, NMR and seismoelectrics are applied.
