The paper presents the Dipole-Tracer-Method tested for the first time in the fluvial deposites of the river Elbe. The method aims at a correlation between fluvial subsoil structures and the variation of groundwater flow. First of all the operating principle of the method and the test site including subsoil structures are described. Together with a saline solution, which is used as a tracer medium, multilevel conductivity measurement devices make it possible to investigate the spatial and temporal expansion of the tracer drifted between a pumping and a recharging well. In the second part the results of a typical test are described by means of normalized concentration curves. It is shown that there is a significant correlation between the permeability logs and the tracer curves.
