“…Data represent concentration ranges from 1994 to 1996 acquired from Koussouris (1994), Conides et al (1996) and Conides and Parpoura (1997). Values represent concentration ranges from 1997 to 2001 sampled from more than 20 wells (Fatta et al, 2002;Paraschoudis, 2002;Ministry of Agriculture (1990-1997). lake.…”

“…The results of groundwater analysis from various studies (Fatta et al, 2002;Paraschoudis, 2002;Hellenic Ministry of Agriculture, 1990-1997 showed that groundwater quality is significantly deteriorated. Groundwater is almost brackish and levels of nitrogen compounds and chloride ions are exceptionally high (Table 4).…”

“…The main aquifer in the area is located in the Triassic limestone formation in a level slightly above the mean sea elevation (Fatta et al, 2002). Pumping tests occurred under a recent hydrogeologic investigation (Zacharias et al, 2003) in several boreholes, homogenously distributed in the study area, which indicated groundwater velocities that range between 3 m/day and 20 m/day.…”

“…Groundwater pollution is one of the most common environmental problems nowadays (Fatta et al, 2002). Leachates from landfills and uncontrolled industrial effluents disposal cause significant deterioration in the water quality of many aquifers throughout the world (Gailey and Gorelick, 1993;Kjeldsen et al, 1993).…”

“…Additionally Abu-Rukah and Al-Kofahi (2001), after monitoring several physical and chemical parameters in a landfill in El-Akader in Northen Jordan, concluded that the quality of groundwater had been significantly deteriorated due to leachate contamination and as impact, water resources in the region could not be used any more. According to Fatta et al (2002), the uncontrolled infiltration of leachate into vadose zone and then into saturated zone was considered to be the most serious environmental impact in Ano Liosia Landfill in Greece. In their analysis a groundwater flow and contaminant mass transport model of the region in combination with Ecosim system have been developed, to propose an integrated environmental monitoring and modeling system.…”

Environmental impact assessment of a METRO infrastructure facility construction by modelling water and soil pollution

The construction of large infrastructure projects such as highways, railroads, landfills, airports, harbours offers great social-economic opportunities for the development of a region; it is also mainly responsible for the deterioration of natural environment in the greater areas where these projects are located. The goal of environmental impact assessment (EIA) that is carried out before the construction of such a project is to propose measures and actions that will limit negative environmental impacts during its construction and operation phases. The common perception is that large scale infrastructure projects can only damage natural environment even though very strict environmental requirements are imposed by the Authorities. This was not the case in Eleonas Attikis region in Greece where METRO facilities were built. During the construction phase, hazardous solid wastes were found buried in the urban area where METRO facilities (station, tunnel and depot) were located, raising serious environmental issues in natural and human environment in the region.The protection and restoration of environment in an uncontrolled waste dumpsite require accurate estimation of subsurface pollution extent and intensity. The scope of the present analysis is to map the contamination in the aquifer of Eleona Attikis where METRO facilities (station, tunnel and depot) were built. Numerical modelling approaches were used to estimate environmental impacts of this project to soil and water resources in the greater region. The results have shown that the removal of buried solid wastes to construct METRO station and depot was crucial in order to eliminate negative impacts in soil and subsurface water resources. An impact assessment of hazardous solid wastes buried for many years in the aquifer was also performed. The findings of this analysis proved that the implementation of a large infrastructure project such as the one in Eleona Attikis Greece was environmentally beneficial for the region.
