Control Of Groundwater By Underground Dams

Yilmaz, Metin 01 November 2003 (has links) (PDF)
In this study underground dams are briefly described and detailed information about the design and construction aspects is provided. Since the material, of which dam wall is composed, is the main variable influencing the groundwater behavior, various types of dam wall are discussed. The use and usefulness of the underground dams as a means of sustainable development, and their performance in the management of groundwater resources are analyzed with the help of two example studies. In the first example a hypothetical idealized aquifer is considered, while in the second one, a real aquifer is selected. For the performance evaluation, and for the analysis of the impact of the underground dams on the groundwater behavior, numerical simulation is opted. For that purpose, a well-known computer code, MODFLOW, A Modular Three-Dimensional Finite Difference Groundwater Flow Model of U.S. Geological Survey, (McDonald and Harbaugh, 1988) is used.

Na maioria dos municípios da região, as precipitações ficam numa faixa que vai de 200 mm a 800 mm anuais. Com elevadas taxas de evaporação e temperaturas relativamente altas, sendo a região semiárida mais povoada do mundo, nessa condição semiaridez. Esse cenário tem contribuído para a formulação de políticas públicas voltadas para agricultura familiar. No Território do Alto Oeste Potiguar, a agricultura familiar é um importante segmento econômico. Nos últimos anos tem se percebido uma ampliação das políticas públicas voltadas para a convivência do agricultor familiar com a região semiárida. As barragens subterrâneas, enquanto tecnologia de convivência tem tornado - se importante para o desenvolvimento dos pequenos produtores rurais. Nesse contexto, o estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da implantação de barragens subterrâneas em pequenas propriedades rurais no Território da Cidadania do Alto Oeste Potiguar, como forma de favorecer a convivência com a condição semiaridez. A área de estudo consiste no Alto Oeste Potiguar que é uma região brasileira do estado do Rio Grande do Norte (RN), sendo que o estudo foi delineado através dos métodos: qualitativo e quantitativo. Com relação aos fins a pesquisa pode ser considerada como avaliação de resultados, estudo de caso e explicativa. Já com relação aos meios, o estudo caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa de levantamento e documental. O universo de estudo foi os agricultores familiares assistidos pelos programas de barragens subterrâneas no Território da Cidadania do Alto Oeste Potiguar, sendo um total de trinta e cinco e a amostragem deu-se por acessibilidade sendo obtida a amostra de vinte agricultores familiares beneficiados com os programas de barragens subterrâneas. Foi feito o uso da análise de conteúdo para o método qualitativo e para a método quantitativo foi usada a estatística descritiva, onde os dados foram apresentados através de algumas medidas de dispersão e tendências centrais, seguido de gráficos. A partir da análise dos dados coletados, evidenciou-se que 100% dos agricultores pertencem a algum movimento social, esses agricultores tem uma percepção positiva em relação aos programas de barragens. A partir dos resultados das analises químicas do solo, foi realizada a classificação do solo das áreas internas das barragens, analisando CEes, PST, e pH, classificando-os, sendo que 45% como sem problemas de sais, 5% como salino sódico e como solo sódico 55%. / The climate of the brazilian semi-arid northeast has generally water shortages. In most municipalities in the region, the precipitation is in a range that goes from 200 mm to 800 mm annually. With high evaporation rates and relatively high temperatures, the most populated semi-arid region of the world, this semiaridez condition. This scenario has contributed to the formulation of public policies for family farming. In the Territory of the Higt West Potiguar, family farming is an important economic sector. In recent years has seen an expansion of public policies for the coexistence of the family farmer with the semi-arid region. Underground dams, while coexistence technology has become - is important for the development of small farmers. In this context, the study aimed to evaluate the effects of the deployment of underground dams on small farms in the Territory of the High Citizenship Potiguar West as a way to promote coexistence with semiaridez condition. The study area consists of the Higt West Potiguar which is a brazilian region of Rio Grande do Norte State (RN), and the study was designed by the methods: qualitative and quantitative. With regard to the purposes of research can be considered as evaluation of results, case study and explanatory. In relation to the media, the study is characterized as a survey and documentary research. The study universe was assisted by family farmers of underground dams programs in the Territory of the High Citizenship Potiguar West, with a total of thirty-five and sampling took place accessibility being obtained sample of twenty farmers benefit from the programs of underground dams. Was done using content analysis to the qualitative method and the quantitative method was used descriptive statistics, where data were presented through some measures of dispersion and central tendencies, followed by graphics. From the data analysis, it was shown that 100% of farmers belong to any social movement, these farmers have a positive perception of the dams programs. From the results of the chemical analysis of soil, soil classification of internal areas of the dams was studied according CEes, PST, and pH, classifying them, and 45% as no salt problems, 5% as sodium salt and sodic soil as 55%.

Artificial Recharge Of Groundwater In Kucuk Menderes River Basin, Turkey

Peksezer, Ayse 01 March 2010 (has links) (PDF)
K&uuml / &ccedil / &uuml / k Menderes River Basin located in western Turkey has been facing continuous groundwater level decreases for the past 30 years. In dry periods, irrigation demand is completely met by pumping from groundwater system, which reduces water levels significantly. This provides enough storage to be recharged in wet seasons when streams are running. However, increased runoff in wet season are not utilized neither for irrigation nor for recharge and lost to the Aegean Sea without being infiltrated. Hence, surface artificial recharge methods can be useful to collect excess water in recharge basins, thus allowing infiltration to increase groundwater storage in wet seasons to be later utilized in dry seasons. A 2-D groundwater model is set up by using SEEP/W software. The material functions and parameters used in the model for saturated/ unsaturated conditions are taken from previous studies. Calibration was done to check the accuracy of input data and to control the validity of model. The amount of excess water that will be collected in recharge basins was estimated from flood frequency analysis. Concerning different probabilities, different scenarios were simulated to observe the increase in groundwater levels. Simulation results suggest that significant increase in groundwater storage could be achieved by applying artificial recharge methods. In addition to recharge basins, to reinforce the effect of artificial recharge, simulations were repeated with the addition of an underground dam at downstream side of the basin. Simulation results indicate that the increase in groundwater storage is not sufficient to warrant construction of the underground dam.

Řízená umělá infiltrace jako nástroj pro eliminaci negativních dopadů klimatické změny. / Managed artificial recharge as a tool to eliminate negative impacts of climate change.

Kvašňovský, Tomáš January 2019 (has links)
: The topic of artificial recharge technology for water supply into the underground, its direct use and application in the field is becoming a more frequent foreign question, but also in the Czech Republic. This is due to the negative trend in groundwater levels over the past 10 years, caused by drought and temperature regression trends. The theoretical part of this thesis presents the knowledge of the use of artificial groundwater recharge, even with specific cases in the world or in the Czech Republic. This work is especially focused on a very specific case of the construction that represent underground dam in the village of Meziboří in the environment of the Czech massif "hard rocks". Specifically, its efficiency and impact on natural groundwater runoff. For this purpose, a numerical model was developed in the program Groundwater Vistas (extension for MODFLOW). From the results we can observe the influence of natural groundwater regime in both static and dynamic model. After simulating the dam in a steady- state regime of unaffected conditions, the groundwater level in the model before the dam increased significantly above ground level. The possible pumping without drying the collector then represents values 5,4 - 5,8 m3 /day (0,063 - 0,067 l/s) from the well just before the dam. The drain...
