The design of a water reservoir in a site underlain by karstified carbonate rocks, encountersmany difficulties mainly due to unpredictable location, dimensions and geometryof the karst structure and voids.The objective of this work is to present part of the investigation work that was carriedout in Omalos plateau (W. Crete) where a water reservoir is going to be constructed.The survey was based on geological mapping, geophysical exploration, boreholesdrilling, sampling and laboratory testing for the geotechnical parameters determination.The soil thickness that is required to provide stability against soil collapse into voidsand the subsequent formation of sinkholes was estimated.The evaluations represent a useful decision-support tool in the management of theinvestigation results for the design purposes of the water reservoir in Omalos plateau.
