  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 Gendered Approach to Understanding Salinity Intrusion Impacts: A Case Study on a Coastal Region of Bangladesh

Moreover, the study explores the gendered division of labor and shows how coastal females’ gender roles are accelerating to their deprivation and disadvantaged situation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Numerical Simulation of Saltwater Intrusion Caused by Land-Use Change and Groundwater Pumping in a Salinity-Affected Coastal Aquifer, Japan

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Keisuke Konishi; [2017]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Lowering of groundwater level may cause saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. Since decrease in groundwater recharge rate and overpumping lower groundwater level, recharge rate and pumping rate are main factors of saltwater intrusion In the study area, the land-use has been changing since a university campus was newly constructed.
