Focus of this study is the analysis of a local hydrogeological system in the subhumid outer tropics in the western African country of Benin. The aim was to characterize, qualify and quantify the hydrogeological and hydrological properties of the approx. 30 km2 big study area and to develop a conceptual hydrogeological model. This model should provide the basis for further studies on a regional scale. The main goal was to obtain the process knowledge of the hydrogeological system and to determine the process and the quantity of the groundwater recharge in the working area. According to the objectives, a broad hydrogeological approach was chosen. In a spacious network on the local scale TDR probes, suction cups and groundwater observation bores were installed. Also in a multidisciplinary cooperation with hydrology, geography, soil science, biology, meteorology and plant nutrition sciences, instruments like discharge gauging stations, tensiometers, lysimeter, climate stations, runoff plots and erosion pins were installed in the test site for the investigation of the relevant parameters of the hydrological cycle.

Anomalously high values of Ir have been detected in association with the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary in about a dozen marine or continental sections laid down about 65 Ma in many different parts of the world (Alvarez et al., 1981). One possible exception is the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary region in DSDP Site 356, in the South Atlantic off the coast of South America. In a detailed study of that section, the maximum Ir abundance was about 0.2 ppb, much lower than the 3-90 ppb found in most of the other marine locations (authors' unpublished data on the Cretaceous/Tertiary region of Site 356, 1982). A study of Hole 516F, which is not too far from Site 356, could show whether the very low (or missing) Cretaceous/Tertiary Ir anomaly at Site 356 is characteristic of this region of the South Atlantic.
