A numerical study of saline contamination of a coastal aquifer
Abstract
A three-dimensional mathematical model of variable density groundwater flow and miscible solute transport is developed to investigate the saltwater contamination of a coastal aquifer in west Japan. The selected area is an agricultural region located on a coastal aquifer where the groundwater is being consumed continuously as the main water source for drinking, greenhouses and industries. The salinity of the pumped water has been analysed …
