  1. 1. Effectiveness of Barrier Well by Pumping Ratio Control for Saltwater Intrusion: Lab-Scale Experiments and Numerical Modeling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Shinichi Ozaki; [2021]
    Keywords : Saltwater intrusion; Barrier well; Pumping ratio control; Production well; salinity-affected coastal aquifer; Critical groundwater pumping ratio; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Saltwater intrusion is the most challenging problem in coastal regions. To prevent saltwater intrusion, saltwater pumping from a barrier well is widely applied, which is a direct abstraction of intruded saltwater from a coastal aquifer. Owing to its easy installation, many studies have been carried out. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Laboratory-Scale Examination to Find an Optimal Application for a Groundwater Barrier Well

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Tatsuya Nagino; [2021]
    Keywords : Groundwater; Seawater intrusion; Countermeasure; Negative hydraulic barrier; Sea level rise; Coastal aquifer; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Seawater intrusion has been aggravated due to anthropogenic reasons, such as sea level rise and over abstraction of groundwater, which is spoiling the groundwater sustainability. This study focused on a negative hydraulic barrier using a barrier well as a countermeasure. READ MORE

  4. 3. Saltwater Intrusion in Fractured Crystalline Bedrock Aquifer. - A Case Study on Koster Islands, SW Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sibhat Afewerki; [2019-10-30]
    Keywords : saltwater intrusion; fractured bedrock aquifers; DRASTIC; vulnerability mapping; Koster Islands; slatvattenintrång; Akvifer i uppsprucken berggrund; sårbarhetskartläggning; Kosteröarna;

    Abstract : Saltwater intrusion (SWI) is one of the significant threats in many coastal areas, mainly driven by anthropogenic hazards (over-pumping) and climate change (sea level rise). So far, there have been extensive research and techniques to understand and minimize SWI. READ MORE

  5. 4. The spatial variability of salinity and water flux estimates in Gialova Lagoon, Greece

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Kim Lundmark; [2018]
    Keywords : Coastal Lagoon; Gialova Lagoon; Water quality; Hydrological Modelling; Salinity; Water flux; Mass balance;

    Abstract : Lagoons are coastal waterbodies which are sensitive to meteorological and hydrological changes. This study focused on the spatial distribution of salinity in Gialova lagoon, Greece. The area in which the lagoon is located is under pressure from agriculture and truism in the area. READ MORE

  6. 5. Sustainable Aquifer Management in Small Island Developing States : A case study of Mauritius

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Akshay Kowlesser; [2018]
    Keywords : groundwater modelling; coastal aquifers; small islands; saltwater intrusion; Mauritius; climate change;

    Abstract : Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are amongst the most vulnerable states in the world. They are subject to a number of stresses including economical, climatic and spatial restraints. This thesis investigates the effects that certain critical ‘stresses’ will have on the groundwater reserves of SIDS. READ MORE
