Hydrotechnical aspects of sustainable land development in complex groundwater conditions
Abstract: This paper aims to present the application of systematic analyses to ascertain sustainable land development in complex groundwater conditions. Today, Serbia is a big construction site where investments in capital projects are expected to be intensified in the following years. Large land development projects are "Novi Sad Waterfront" in the City of Novi Sad, the Serbian-Chinese Industrial Park, and "Makiško Polje" in the City of Belgrade. These projects will be developed in sites often under the impact of high groundwater and/or in the vicinity of water intakes. When considering the land use change in such surroundings, planning and enforcing adequate water management is necessary. This paper will focus on resolving several issues (reducing groundwater tables to the desired levels, the necessity for ground backfilling, and protecting groundwater sources) by developing simulation models using MODFLOW. The simulation models assess ground backfilling requirements and develop optimal drainage strategies for long-term management. They represent just one segment in our approach toward achieving integrated water management. Developed models accompanied by monitoring and data management system make the project sustainable in future exploitation.
