Hydrogeological study for the artificial enrichment of the carstic limestone system of titarisios and pineios rivers, tyrnavos area, larisa

The scope of this study was the recording of the technical data, the necessary tasks and the required field work to understand the behavior of the carstic system on Titarisios and Pineios Rivers, and the development of a mathematical model for the system. The overall study area included the semi-crystallic limestones in Damasi and Tyrnavos areas and on river Titarisios region, together with the Elassona and Potamia basins, and the river Pineios. The total area of the study was 300 km². This hydrogeological study aimed at: 1) To estimate the quantitative and qualitative water balance of the region under study,2) To inform the sustainable use of surface water and groundwater for irrigation of agricultural land, water supply to settlements and other uses 3) To calculate the available quantities from aquifers throughout the year, without causing adverse impacts on them, 4) To formulate the relationship of surface – groundwater and the most environmental way of exploitation 5) To formulate specific proposals for the enrichment of groundwater aquifers from surface waters.
