2 Objectives Shallow aquifer of Apače field Efficiency analysis of a MAR system at Apače field o Steady-state GW flow model FREEWAT o GW recharge assessment - SWAT o Transient GW flow model using SWAT output data o Transport model with simulated nitrate leaching 2

3 Aquifer of Apače field 3

4 Aquifer of Apače field Shallow aquifer Exposed to intensive agriculture Main drinking water supply for the Pomurje region ( inhabitants) Constructed MAR system with IRBF in

5 Intensive agriculture 5

6 Shallow aquifer 6

7 Water protection areas 7

8 Impermeable layer 8

9 Groundwater flow 9

10 MAR system with IRBF Pumping riverbank filtrate of river Mura Active protection against nitrate polluted hinterland waters Prevention of water scarcity in the summer period Deferrization and demanganization 10

11 MAR system with IRBF 11

12 MAR system with IRBF - Segovci 12

13 MAR system with IRBF - Podgrad 13

14 Analyse, edit and visualize Geospatial data Soil and Water Assessment tool Actual Evapotranspiration Groundwater recharge Water Resource Management tool Groundwater flow model MODFLOW 2005 Solute transport model MT3DMS 14

15 Groundwater model - FREEWAT Establishment of a steady-state GW model in FREEWAT Implementing MODFLOW boundary conditions to simulate: River/aquifer seepage RIV package GW recharge RCH package MAR system WEL package Hinterland water inflow GHB package Lake/aquifer seepage LAK package 15

16 Scenarios Rise of the groundwater level after the construction of the MAR system Protection of the MAR system against polluted hinterland waters o o 1. scenario: high water level 2. scenario: low water level 16

17 Rise of GW level after MAR construction 17

18 MODPATH particle-tracking Impact of lakes in Zgornje Konjišče on groundwater of Apaško polje (Kolar, 2018) 18

19 GW recharge assessment - SWAT Impact of farm management on surface waters and ground water Hydrological response units HRUs o landuse, soil, slope, climate 19

20 GW recharge assessment - SWAT DEM Landuse Soils HRUs 20

23 Acknowledgements The authors like to thank to be part of the EU project FREEWAT, which has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement n FREEWAT/QGIS tool has the advantage of integrated solution allowing managing datasets, calibrating, treating and modelling a set of scenarios and producing outputs and visualizations for decision makers all integrated into one environment and as open source. Another thanks to the EU project SI-MUR-AT, which is receiving funding from the European Union s Interreg V-A Slovenia-Austria programme under n. SIAT116. This project enables the use of tools FREEWAT/QGIS in the Apače field. 23
