o:1053 Hydrotechnical aspects of sustainable land development in complex groundwater conditions en Abstract: This paper aims to present the application of systematic analyses to ascertain sustainable land development in complex groundwater conditions. Today, Serbia is a big construction site where investments in capital projects are expected to be intensified in the following years. Large land development projects are "Novi Sad Waterfront" in the City of Novi Sad, the Serbian-Chinese Industrial Park, and "Makiško Polje" in the City of Belgrade. These projects will be developed in sites often under the impact of high groundwater and/or in the vicinity of water intakes. When considering the land use change in such surroundings, planning and enforcing adequate water management is necessary. This paper will focus on resolving several issues (reducing groundwater tables to the desired levels, the necessity for ground backfilling, and protecting groundwater sources) by developing simulation models using MODFLOW. The simulation models assess ground backfilling requirements and develop optimal drainage strategies for long-term management. They represent just one segment in our approach toward achieving integrated water management. Developed models accompanied by monitoring and data management system make the project sustainable in future exploitation. 1552100 978-86-82565-55-0 2022-11-21T08:15:33.356Z 44 no 46 Željka Rudić Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" 0000-0003-4853-8742 Vladimir Lukić Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person 0009-0005-0130-780X Dejan Milošev Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person 0009-0005-1524-2840 Emilija Stošić Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person Goran Nikolić Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Černi" person application/pdf 3901833 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:1053 no yes 1 70 92000004 71A04 Contemporary Water Management: Challenges and Research Directions, Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference in the Honour of 75 Years of the Jaroslav Černi Water Institute, October 19-20 2022, Belgrade 199 213 Jaroslav Černi Water Institute 2022 Received: August 31, 2022 Revision: September 12, 2022 Accepted: September 15, 2022
