Impact of sea level rise and over-pumping on seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers
Climate change, sea level rise, over-pumping and saltwater intrusion present some of the future challenges of water resources management in coastal areas. Over-abstraction is considered one of the main causes of seawater intrusion and the rise in sea levels accelerates the intrusion. With the combined impact of sea level rise and over-pumping the problem becomes exacerbated and requires urgent ...

Modeling the dynamics of the freshwater-saltwater interface in response to construction activities at a coastal site
Abstract: A numerical model was developed to evaluate the response of groundwater flow and the fresh-saltwater interface in relation to the construction of a particle accelerator at the coastal plain of Tokaimura, Japan. Undisturbed conditions were initially simulated and validated against field observations as a prerequisite for the analysis of predictive scenarios. Groundwater heads and the ...

Impact of over-pumping and sea level rise on seawater intrusion in Gaza aquifer (Palestine)
Seawater intrusion is considered as one of the main processes that degrade water quality by raising salinity to levels exceeding acceptable drinking water standards. Over-abstraction is the main cause of seawater intrusion. Moreover, climate change and sea level rise speed up seawater intrusion. This paper presents the development of a coupled transient finite element model for simulation of ...

Salt Water Creeps Onto East Coast
Seawater is rapidly intruding into coastal aquifers, but alternative water sources can slow its progress On the East Coast of the United States, seawater is creeping inland, contaminating fresh water in underground aquifers. This intrusion is not uncommon. Since salt water has a higher density than fresh, it sinks to the bottom of the water table, often without affecting the fresh water above. ...
