| Abstract: | During the planning, designing, construction, operation and maintenance of highways, groundwater can be of important environmental
and constructional constraint that can significantly influence the safety operation of traffic and of big influence on the
operational costs of highways. To classify and conceptualize the relation between groundwater and highways, three important
groups of problems can be determined: groundwater protection from highway influences, protection of highway from groundwater
and economic use of groundwater for highway operation. In the present study, groundwater management strategies are represented
during all life cycles of highways. Greater emphasis is given to groundwater protection and field hydrogeological investigations
for proper groundwater management related to the highway. The approach adopted in Slovenia and the role of hydrogeology is
given as an illustration. |
