Abstract

Gabčíkovo – Topoľníky channel is one of three main channels in the irrigation and drainage channel network of Žitný ostrov. Žitný ostrov is a lowland area in south – western Slovakia with high degree of agricultural use and thanks to its bed composed mainly of fluvial gravel sediments it is a significant storage of high quality groundwater. The Vrakúň junction location was chosen due to the presence of regulation measures (floodgates)along the boundary of the area of interest and also due to the occurrence of both agricultural and urban areas. The aim of this paper is to evaluate surface water – groundwater interactions between the channel and its surroundings considering the significant increase in volume of silts in the channel over the past years and comparison of the interaction between the current state and state with no aggradation in the channel. The simulation was done using finite – difference groundwater (MODFLOW) (Harbaugh et al., 2000) model in the Aquaveo GMS interface.
