Original Abstract

Groundwater is an inseparable component of the hydrological cycle and water resource systems. It is the only source of water for the rivers during droughts and is crucial in retaining sustainable environmental and water conditions. It also plays a significant role in water supply for drinking, industrial and agricultural purposes. On the other side, groundwater effects have to be taken into account when designing and operating water structures, namely those damming water. The subsurface parts of civil and hydraulic structures may represent significant interventions into the groundwater regime if not treated. Uncontrolled seepage progressing in embankment structures and their sub-base may result in the internal erosion and internal instabilities into soils. The contemporary tool for solving groundwater-related issues is computer modelling techniques. In this chapter, the main groundwater-related issues and possibilities of their modelling are discussed. Special attention is paid to the water supply problems and groundwater protection, to the groundwater issues in urban areas during no flood periods and at the flood events. The assessment of groundwater impact on the hydraulic and civil structures is mentioned too. Numerous examples of groundwater flow modelling and its results are presented as well.
