This study investigates sustainable development potential for Ulubey aquifer system which serves as an important water supply for Usak province (Turkey). In recent years, growing population, accelerating industrial activities and decreasing rainfall, as well as contamination of the surface water resources, made groundwater indispensable to meet the freshwater demands of Usak province. Therefore, a sustainable groundwater development plan has to be set up by determining the sustainable yield of the system, which is the aim of this study. To achieve this goal, a mathematical groundwater flow model is constructed in order to test the alternative development scenarios. Results show that the system preserves equilibrium conditions under present stresses. The future effects of possible increases in stresses are also simulated and based on the dynamic responses of the system to changing stresses; sustainable yield and sustainable pumping rate of the aquifer are determined and compared with the safe yield of the system.

Sustainable development and management of an aquifer system in western Turkey
SAKIYAN, J; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2004-02-01)
This study presents the establishment of sustainable development and management policies for the Kucuk Menderes River Basin aquifer system in western Turkey. Geological, hydrogeological, and geophysical data are used conjunctively to define various hydrogeological units and their geometry. Distributions of hydraulic-parameter values and recharge are estimated by geostatistical methods and hydrologic simulations, respectively. A finite-difference groundwater flow model is used to represent the unconfined flo...
Investigation of safe and sustainable yields for the Sandy Complex aquifer system in the Ergene River basin, Thrace Region, Turkey
OKTEN, S; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2005-05-01)
This study aims to determine the safe and sustainable yields for the Sandy Complex aquifer system in Ergene River basin in northwestern Turkey. A numerical ground-water flow model was developed for the Sandy Complex aquifer, which is the most productive and the most widespread aquifer in the basin. The finite difference ground-water model was used to simulate steady and unsteady flow in the aquifer. The model was calibrated in two steps: a steady-state calibration, by using the observed ground-water levels ...
Investigation of the safe and sustainable yields for the Sandy Complex aquifer system in Ergene River Basin
Ökten, Şebnem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2004)
This study aims to determine the safe and sustainable development and management of groundwater resources in Ergene River Basin located in northwestern Turkey. A numerical groundwater model was developed for the Sandy Complex aquifer, which is the most productive and the most widespread aquifer in the basin. The finite difference model with 5900 cells was used to represent the steady and unsteady flow in the aquifer. The model was calibrated in two steps: a steady state calibration by using the observed gro...
Application of a data mining approach to derive operating rules for the Eleviyan irrigation reservoir
Sattari, M. Taghi; APAYDIN, HALİT; ÖZTÜRK, FAZLI; Baykal, Nazife (2012-01-01)
Optimum irrigation reservoir operation is a significant issue for water management decision makers. In this study, we used 4 different datasets of monthly amounts of water to be released from the Eleviyan irrigation reservoir in Iran as inputs in a data mining model; "if-conditional" operating rules were determined as outputs. Operating rules derived from data mining and rules obtained from an optimization model were in high concordance, especially between the 2 datasets from the preconstruction period, wit...
Numerical assessment of seawater intrusion in the Tripoli region, Libya
Sadeg, SA; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan (2001-08-01)
Libya has experienced progressive seawater intrusion in the coastal aquifers since 1930s because of its ever increasing water demand from underground water resources. Tripoli City and its hinterland are located in the coastal region of the Gefara Plain, where the agricultural activity entirely depends on rainfall and groundwater. In recent years, the risk of seawater intrusion is continuously threatening coastal parts of the Gefara Plain that form one of the economically most significant area in the country...
