In Bucharest, wastewater is collected through main and secondary collectors, all of them discharging in the wastewater collector channel situated under the Dambovita River floor. Given the modifications of the groundwater table level fallowing the building of a metro line and, therefore, the necessity to reduce the intake of water coming from rain and groundwater infiltrations (conventionally considered clean) at Glina wastewater treatment plant, one of the solutions identified has been to build a drainage system next to the river. In this scenario, a groundwater table level variation would appear, and the study aimed to estimate the influence of the drainage system on the buildings in terms of settlements.
