Soil and Unsaturated Flow

In this paper, several rehabilitation alternatives are discussed and evaluated leading to the analysis of the preferred concept. The examination was mainly performed by means of the finite element program, 2D PlaxFlow, which is a computer%aided program created for groundwater flow analysis in the domain of geotechnical, environmental, agricultural and hydrological engineering. It may also be used as an add%on to th e Plaxis 2D program, which serves to analyse deformation, stability and dynamics in the geotechnical domain. After the presentation of the examined concept, an outlook is given concerning the next necessary steps.
