  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Investigation of the origin of salt in coastal aquifers and assessment of metals in the aquatic environment : River Drin and River Vjosa, Albania

    University essay from KTH/Vatten- och miljöteknik

    Author : Maximilian von Bahr; Ida Gomez Bergström; [2018]
    Keywords : Albania; aquifers; bioavailability; Drin; groundwater; isotope analysis; metal speciation; river; saltwater intrusion; Vjosa;

    Abstract : The preservation of freshwater aquifers is one important task of managing natural resources today. Intrusion of saltwater from the sea into the groundwater might occur in coastal-near areas and can affect the freshwater quality negatively. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. A Risk Assessment Analysis : The risk of saltwater intrusion into freshwater wells and the effects of a futuresea level rise on the Baltic Sea island of Öland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Marcus Eriksson; [2017]
    Keywords : Saltwater intrusion; well salinization; sea level rise; groundwater; Öland; risk assessment; GIS-analysis;

    Abstract : Freshwater is essential for a functional society and the human well-being. However, it should not be taken for granted. Freshwater aquifers in coastal are subject to current and future risk of becoming saltwater contaminated – reaching a tipping point. Freshwater security on islands is vulnerable. READ MORE

  6. 5. Application of GALDIT index in the Mediterranean region to assess vulnerability to sea water intrusion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tracy Zaarour; [2017]
    Keywords : aquifer; Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; Sea Water Intrusion SWI ; Vulnerability Index VI ; GALDIT VI; Groundwater; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : GALDIT is a Vulnerability Indexing (VI) methodology that uses ranges, ratings and weights developed as a preliminary decision support tool to predict groundwater areas prone to Sea Water Intrusion (SWI). It has been only applied on porous coastal aquifers to date, in Mediterranean coastal regions, where SWI has become a growing problem. READ MORE
