Abstract
Simulation modeling was used to assess the impact of the stormwater sewage discharges of “Sveti Vlas” resort complex on the Bulgarian Black Sea coastal water quality. For the simulation model a software product ArcGIS was applied. The model was developed by geo-referencing of raster images; digitizing part of the information for spatial database; organizing the information in thematic layers as well as creating wind rose, 3D model of the seasonal variation of currents and GIS data base. Input data was used to create the following thematic layers: location of the study area and the sewerage system discharge; shoreline specifics; bathymetry, hydrology and sediments of the coastal waters; bathing waters location in the area of discharge. Simulation modeling was carried out, taking into consideration different hydrological and meteorological characteristics of the investigated area. The results showed that the discharge and distribution of the stormwater sewage didn’t reach the bathing waters, situated nearby, thus avoiding water quality deterioration.
