Hydrogeological Modelling of the Esperance Drinking Water Aquifer Subjected to Seawater Intrusion

Saltwater intrusion in groundwater is a concern in many aquifers around the world. It results in deterioration of potable and irrigation water quality and degradation of ecosystems. The problem is exacerbated by fresh groundwater abstraction, drying climates and a rising seawater level.<br/>Esperance is a small town situated on the south coast...

Seawater Intrusion Modeling with Single Density Codes

Seawater intrusion modeling is challenging either because of a lack of many approaches' ability to cope with complex environments or significant computational expense. Seawater intrusion models also face issues with parameterization and validation due to problems with many parameters and also a lack of observational data. Bakker and Schaars ...
