Abstract
Atrazine has been used as a powerful herbicide in maize production for about 30 years, but since it became clear that it threatens the quality of groundwater its use has been forbidden in Germany and elsewhere. Nevertheless the risk to groundwater will remain for a considerable time, and this time will vary depending on the soil type. a classification and mapping procedure for groundwater sensitivity has been developed and the risk of groundwater pollution by atrazine assessed. Specific regions of Germany at high risk have been identified using a computer model and statistical data.
