Abstract

The design of a proper Soil-Aquifer Treatment (SAT) groundwater recharge system is proposed after studying the geological and hydrogeological regime of the coastal aquifer system at Nea Peramos, NE Greece. The investigation of the qualitative problem of the study area included groundwater level measurements and groundwater sampling and chemical analyses, respectively. The paper also includes the design of necessary maps, such as geological, piezometric and distribution of specific qualitative parameters. The investigation concludes to further research and managerial useful proposals.
