Seepage Problems at Areas Protected against Floods
Original language description
The underground elements of flood protection structures such as levees or floodwalls may represent significant interventions into the groundwater regime if not treated. Seepage progressing during a flood from a river to an adjacent aquifer can endanger flood protection elements and may result in the internal erosion of the soils of the foundation. The increased piezometric head and water pressures at the area protected against flooding can harm the subsurface parts of buildings such as cellars, underground garages and also sewer mains. The paper deals with groundwater flow issues related to the flood protection of urban areas. Hydraulic modelling and risk mapping techniques used for the assessment of the impact of groundwater on flood protection facilities and on structures in protected areas are applied. Additionally, the effect of subsurface parts of floodwalls and levees on the groundwater regime in adjacent areas is discussed.
