Model of urban groundwater level management in drainage systems

Currently, it is proposed to design horizontal drains for the city of Fergana to reduce the negative impact of the rise in the level of groundwater on the environment, agricultural crops, buildings, and structures, as well as on underground communications. Groundwater depth measurements were carried out in observation wells in the city area and the results were analysed. The depth of groundwater level drop within the horizontal drainage effect is physically and mathematically modelled. For this, long-term data from observation wells were analysed and the hydraulic parameters of horizontal drainage were selected considering the hydrogeology of the area. Taking into account the terrain and characteristics of the soil layers, the possibility of diverting the collected water outside the city through the "Margilan Say" waterwork passing through the city centre has been developed. The differential equation of groundwater movement is solved by numerical calculation and the results are analysed graphically. According to the analysis of the results of numerical calculation, it is proved that it is possible to control the groundwater level with horizontal drainage. The adequacy of the results was assessed by comparing data collected in natural field conditions.
