Abstract
Starting with an general overview over open pit mining activities in Germany and the role of lignite in the German energy politics the present paper describes the develop-ment in the western reservoir, the so-called Rheinische Braunkohlenrevier. Based on general information, the importance of numerical tools in groundwater management for open pit mining regions is discussed and evaluated considering the large scale open pit mining activities in the geologic systems Venloer Scholle, Rurscholle, and Erftscholle, which belong to the Rheinische Braun-Kohlenrevier. For these systems the authors can present special background in-formation as well as experiences concerning long term numerical modelling as an un-deniable tool in the decision-making process. The interactive character of model-development and monitoring strategies for calibration and predictive assessment is emphasized. The use of modern high sophisticated software and information tools is presented.
