“…However, potential salinization of an aquifer due to seawater intrusion near the shore has not been taken into account. Hence, distance from the shore was included as a new parameter in the SuSAM index, similar to the concept of coastal aquifer vulnerability to seawater intrusion [3]. As expected, unsuitable zones for MAR are located close to the shoreline, while more suitable zones occur in the mainland (Figure 3).…”

“…Two main salinization processes occur in depleted aquifers: (a) seawater intrusion [1] and (b) salt water upconing [2]. Mapping the vulnerability of coastal aquifers to seawater intrusion [3] and salt water upconing [4] has been proposed as a tool with which to prevent groundwater salinization. More specifically, vulnerability maps depict zones where salinization prevention measures can be applied.…”

Abstract:Coastal aquifer salinization is usually related to groundwater overexploitation and water table decline. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) can be applied as a measure to reverse and prevent this phenomenon. A detailed literature review was performed to identify the various methods and parameters commonly used to determine suitable sites of MAR application. Based on the review results, a new multi-criteria index (SuSAM) that is compatible to coastal aquifers was developed to delineate suitable zones for MAR application. New parameters were introduced into the index, such as distance from the shore and hydraulic resistance of the vadose zone, while factor weights were determined using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and single sensitivity analysis. The applicability of the new index was examined in the coastal aquifer of the Anthemountas basin located in northern Greece. The most suitable areas for MAR application cover 28% of the aquifer's surface area, while 16% of the area was characterized as non-suitable for MAR application. The new method constitutes the first step of the managed aquifer recharge concept for the delineation of MAR-suitable zones in coastal aquifers.

“…The outranking methods in multicriteria decision analysis are based on binary comparisons (outranking relations), and rather recently the handling of outranking methods by using fuzzy sets and logic was conducted [16][17][18][19]. Hence, the strict preference (P) and indifference (I) are defined as fuzzy concepts in order to express the granularity of the preference.…”

“…Secondly, the aggregation of the monocriterion scores can be done with the use of fuzzy aggregators and thus, an interpreted structure rather than an arbitrary algebraic norm can be established to achieve the multicriteria synthesis. In addition, during the multicriteria synthesis, the veto principle can be incorporated to prevent the selection of noncommensurate alternatives [18].…”

“…It means only that either the score is positive or at least that the difference is no considerably negative to suggest a preference favour of b with respect to criterion j. The S monocriterion relation can be defined axiomatically as a special case of fuzzy set [18,19]. Let the monocriterion comparison of two alternatives α, b with respect to criterion j.…”

Abstract:The Programmes of Measures (PoMs) are included in the River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs). They comprise the outputs on the analysis of pressures, impacts and status of the water bodies, by designating those actions that need to be employed for the amelioration of the water quality status. In this research a methodology based on the coupling of hybrid multicriteria methods, namely outranking, in which 6 criteria and 37 alternatives are integrated, with a 0/1 linear programming in which the cost of the measures is induced as a constraint, is proposed for the prioritization of the supplementary PoMs that are included in the RBMP of Central Macedonia, Greece. The results of the research demonstrated the usefulness of the methodology when financial constraints do not permit the implementation of the whole set of measures.

Groundwater is a vital component of water supply for residential, industrial, and agricultural purposes. However, many groundwater basins are being used unsustainably and groundwater contamination is a growing water quality problem. Although anthropogenic activities and natural processes have been increasing the contamination in this valuable water resource, several remediation techniques have been developed in the last few decades to reduce these contamination levels. This review paper focuses on the recent studies developed on groundwater pollutions, remediation practices, and groundwater quality management.
