Estimation and Management of the Water Resource Potential in the Island of KOS
1994-1996
Sponsored by the DEYAK of KOS
Introduction
The project dealt with the application and the sensitivity analysis of a model for surface water and grounwater management. This model is a dynamic model, suitable for a variety of geological layers for real time simulations and is based on the well known hydrogeological model MODFLOW which is operating under the platform EIS/GWM [Environmental Impact System / for Ground Water (contaminant) Migration Simulations].
The model was successfully applied in the island of Kos and after its proper calibration is able to answer questions of practical use concerning water management issues.
Conclusions
The EIS/GWM platform has been applied succesfully in the island of Kos and used for different types of groundwater conataminant migration problems covering without exception a variety of remediation alternatives such as: Pump and Treat , Captures Zones, Flow Barriers. The following results have been obtained by the application of the model in the island of Kos:
- Determination of the influence of the pumping well (near the sea) into the aquifer
- Determination of the influence radius from the pumping wells into the aquifer
- Determination and impact of adjective process in plume migration
- Determination of prevailing biodegradation processes for the given soil and aquifer conditions
