Hydrogeological Experimental Site of Poitiers (France)

Abstract In hydrogeology, understanding the behavior of aquifers is an important issue. May it be for forecasting the availability of water on a long term or for estimating the impact of pollutants when injected at difierent regions, modeling of an aquifer is very useful for hydrogeologists. This paper gives an overlook of the difierent types of tests on a particularsite, namely the Hydrogeological Experimental Site (HES) of Poitiers (France). The aim is to show that the HES is a huge instrumented test bed allowing difierent types of experiments. Thus, system identification users can expect to gather large series of input-output datasets so as to experiment their own tools. Note that a large database exists concerning already-run tests, but what is interesting is that new experiments can be programmed so as to account for customized datasets. As a counterpart, the use of HES data should promote proper modeling of the underlying aquifer, thus contributing to the hydrological research field.
