The demand of energy is increasing day after day while producing clear and renewable energy is getting more important for contemporary countries because of global warming. So, any kind of project has to be considered in terms of timing, environment, safety-security and cost. Hydropower dams provide an important source of energy in many countries for a long time. However, they have several impacts on environment, sometimes on cultural history. So, it has been the greatest dilemma in engineering projects whether to preserve historical remains and fertile farm lands or to behave in favor of hydropower generation. Implementing more professional engineering approaches and practical engineering works can remove the engineering structure from being in a critical situation. Ecemiş Fault corridor in Turkey is one of these cases where a careful consideration of the problem would result in beneficial solution in both ways. There are huge landslides with several billions of cubic meters in this faultcorridor. The water-discontinuity-clay trinity (WDC) is well developed in this trough and plays a significant role in the formation of these landslides. So, a big dam project with a wide reservoir will cause a lot of geotechnical problems and also remedial works which mean time and money.This study suggests an alternative project, pressure pipeline system, instead of a large dam. The recommended system will preserve both fertile agricultural lands and historical sites and also produce more energy. The proposed system has many advantages in terms of timing, environment, safety-security and cost; and consists of small dams on the tributaries, regulators on Ecemiş stream, pipelines and power plants.

“…Furthermore, the inappropriate execution of recharge wells has led to speedy infiltration of water from surrounding gravel pack of wells and their leaching by water, all of which have contributed to subsidence at recharge ponds and the appearance of cracks and fissures in them. Therefore, based on the above, and in view of the cone depression around the recharge wells, which adds to the saturation space of the aquifer, when humidity reaches the fine sands, they become unstable and prone to potential displacement (Mathewson 1981). Therefore, the results show the fine sand in aquifer, reaction of recharge water with aquifer water, clogging of recharge wells, erosion of aquifer martial due to the speed ground water and continued pumping of water, constant, gradual or sudden land subsidence and its subsequent problems can be expected.…”

The artificial recharge is a technique of aquifer conservation for land subsidence. But in this article, the phenomenon of land subsidence and the resulting cracks and fissures at the study area are formed in recharge ponds. This is a new phenomenon and in this research the geometrical properties of the fissures of recharge ponds are measured. The results reveal the existence of fine layers in the geology of the aquifer, which are displaced in the long run as the consequence of groundwater overdraft. At the site of the artificial recharge subject of this research, the difference between the quality of recharge water and the aquifer and their interaction have intensified the instability and the movement of the fine sediments. In addition, the neglect of hydraulic principles of the groundwater during the construction and operation of the recharge wells has resulted in turbulent and speed flows, intensified displacement of fine sediments and ultimately the localized subsidence at the site of the plan.
