Groundwater for urban water supply in Ukraine: a case study of Mykolaiv (Military challenges and lessons for the future) (original) (raw)
2024, Acque Sotterranee - Italian Journal of Groundwater
The paper discusses the possibility of using groundwater as a source of water supply for Mykolaiv during emergencies or military operations. A hydrogeological model of the Mykolaiv groundwater field was developed to investigate the water exchange pattern and sources of operational groundwater reserves in the Upper Sarmatian aquifer, which is a primary source of drinking groundwater in the Mykolaiv area. The influence of various factors on water-bearing capacity of the Upper Sarmatian sediments was assessed, including the vulnerability of the fresh groundwater to the intrusion of brackish water from the Bug Estuary. The study also examined the feasibility of operating the aquifer under forced conditions, depending on the duration of emergency periods or military operations.

Groundwater Resources for Drinking Water Supply in Serbia ́ S Southeast Pannonian Basin
2015
Long-term monitoring of groundwater regimes has been conducted to study the impact of prolonged groundwater abstraction from an aquifer in northern Serbia (Bačka District). This aquifer within the Pannonian Basin represents the principal source of drinking water supply. In general, the quality of the groundwater used as the drinking water supply in this region is not satisfactory. The quality of raw water is analysed. Groundwater temperature is in range of 14 and 24 oC, while turbidity is between 0.3 and 9.3 NTU. The chemical parameters that have elevated concentrations include the ammonium ion (0.05 – 0.4 mg/L), iron (0.05 – 3 mg/L), arsenic (10 – 210 μg/L) and KMnO4 demand (4 – 195 mg/L). The dissolved solid content of waters in some locations exceeds 1000 mg/L. A hydrodynamic model was used to study the effects of current groundwater abstractions. The scenarios that were assessed reflected reduced precipitation and different rates of groundwater abstraction. The outcomes presente...
