The Effects of Construction on Subterranean Water: A Case Study of Lipjan Urban Region

Session

Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment

Description

This study investigated the influence of construction on groundwater in the urban region of Lipjan, which has experienced a considerable increase in construction activities in recent years. The objective of this study was to analyze and evaluate the consequences of these activities on the quality and quantity of groundwater, with an emphasis on their potential impacts on the water resources used by the local population. Utilizing a methodology that encompasses the examination of data collected from previous research, field measurements, and hydrological modeling, this study assesses changes in the water level and quality of Lipjan aquifers. This study identifies various construction-related impacts, such as lowering of the groundwater level, changes in water composition, potential pollution from construction materials, and changes in soil permeability. The results of this study demonstrate that construction activities have a significant impact on groundwater in Lipjan, including reducing the aquifer level and contaminating the water quality. This study underscores the importance of implementing sustainable land and water management practices to safeguard these resources. In conclusion, this study offers recommendations for groundwater management policies and practices in Lipjan, suggesting enhancements in construction and resource protection strategies. These recommendations are crucial for promoting sustainable development and ensuring the provision of water resources to local populations.
