Numerical flood models in the projected waste disposal site in Izmir

Abstract

Determination the location of waste disposal sites has always been a challenge for researchers and government organizations. Since the problem on fundamental level is complicated and bound to several of parameters. The effects of the project from the perspectives of economic, social and environmental should be evaluated delicately. This study focuses on surface water accumulation and flood effects; one of the several criteria at the step of decision making to determine the location of waste disposal sites. As a candidate area Yamanlar region (Izmir), where is located on the caldera, is chosen for examining from surface water effects.
