Abstract
Flood-related issues include the impact of groundwater on flood protection measures and other subsurface structures in a protected area. At the same time, subsurface elements of flood protection structures may significantly influence the natural groundwater regime and affect existing structures during non-flood periods. The paper provides an overview of hazardous factors linked to groundwater and specifies variables for the quantification of related hazards. Appropriate hydraulic groundwater flow models are presented and discussed, and their suitability for the modelling of individual typical problems and for hazard quantification is specified. The use of models and the application of CAD and GIS tools for data pre- and post-processing is mentioned in brief and demonstrated on examples of typical practical situations.
