  • Updated Groundwater Vulnerability Evaluation at a Coastal Aquifer System in NE Greece
    European Water 57: 423-428, 2017. © 2017 E.W. Publications Updated groundwater vulnerability evaluation at a coastal aquifer system in NE Greece G. Eminoglou1, I. Gkiougkis1, A. Kallioras2 and F.-K. Pliakas1* 1 Engineering Geology Laboratory, Civil Engineering Department, Democritus University of Thrace, 67132 Xanthi, Greece 2 Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology Laboratory, School of Mining Engineering and Metallurgy, National Technical University of Athens, 157 80 Athens, Greece * e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents the updated vulnerability assessment of Xilagani - Imeros aquifer system in the coastal plain region of Rhodope Prefecture, NE Greece, in the framework of the groundwater management in the region. Information regarding the geological and geomorphological environment, as well as data concerning the hydrologic and hydrogeological regime of the study area are stated. The paper presents the application of DRASTIC and GALDIT vulnerability indexes procedures and the design of easy to use vulnerability maps in order to identify the parts where there is a serious potential for groundwater resources qualitative degradation due to agricultural pollution (DRASTIC approach) or seawater intrusion (GALDIT approach). The research is based on the results of hydrogeological studies in the study area for the year 2015 compared to the year 2006, including field hydrogeological measurements and chemical analyses in the laboratory, as well as the design of groundwater piezometric maps and hydrochemical maps. It is worth mentioning that DRASTIC index values for the year 2015 do not differ substantially compared to the corresponding values for the year 2006. Instead, increase of GALDIT index values is recorded for the year 2015 indicating worsening of the groundwater salinization status due to seawater intrusion.

Relevant field works including in-situ measurements of groundwater level, pH, Specific Electrical Conductivity (SEC) and temperature took place in the years 2008 and 2009. Groundwater samples were also collected for chemical analysis at the Engi- neering Geology Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering of D.U.Th. (July of 2009). Im- portant conclusions regarding the progress of the groundwater degradation at the study area were drawn based on the analysis of all the available data and the elaboration of the designed piezomet- ric maps and the various maps showing the distribution of SEC, Chloride, SAR (Sodium Absorption Ratio) and Revelle coefficient values.

  • Coastal Erosion Problems in Northern Aegean Coastline, Greece. the Case of the Rhodope Prefecture Coasts
    © 2002 WIT Press, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, SO40 7AA, UK. All rights reserved. Web: www.witpress.com Email [email protected] Paper from: Coastal Environment, CA Brebbia (Editor). ISBN 1-85312-921-6 Coastal erosion problems in Northern Aegean coastline, Greece. The case of the Rhodope Prefecture coasts G. S. Xeidakis and P. Delimani Department of Civil Engineering, Democritus Universi@ of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece. Abstract Approximately half of the world’s population are living or working in a narrow zone of a 100 km ffom the world coastlines. In this paper the erosion problems appearing in the central part of the Greek Thrace coastline (Rhodope Prefecture), are examined. The coastline studied is more than 100 km long and belongs to Xanthi-Komotini tectonic basin and is not well developed economically yet. From geomorphologic point of view the aforementioned coastal zone is principally a hilly area, consisting of Miocene, loose to semi-consolidated deposits (gravels, sands, silty-clays and conglomerates). This material is impregnated with CaCOs and/or Si02, in various degrees, forming a caliche (calcrete) deposit at the lower part of the column. The impregnation material is increasing with depth forming nodules of CaCOs in the upper layers and turning to hard marl limestone or calcareous sandstone at greater depth. Small torrent deltas are built at the exits of valleys to the sea. The serious problems of the coastal erosion are concentrated principally to the upper, loose or semi consolidated part of the sedimentary column. The height of the coastal cliffs (bluffs) varies from one to 30 m and the rate of their retreat fluctuates from a few centimeters to 3 m/year.
