Saltwater intrusion in coastal regions of North America 总被引：7，自引：3，他引：4
Saltwater has intruded into many of the coastal aquifers of the United States, Mexico, and Canada, but the extent of saltwater intrusion varies widely among localities and hydrogeologic settings. In many instances, the area contaminated by saltwater is limited to small parts of an aquifer and to specific wells and has had little or no effect on overall groundwater supplies; in other instances, saltwater contamination is of regional extent and has resulted in the closure of many groundwater supply wells. The variability of hydrogeologic settings, three-dimensional distribution of saline water, and history of groundwater withdrawals and freshwater drainage has resulted in a variety of modes of saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers. These include lateral intrusion from the ocean; upward intrusion from deeper, more saline zones of a groundwater system; and downward intrusion from coastal waters. Saltwater contamination also has occurred along open boreholes and within abandoned, improperly constructed, or corroded wells that provide pathways for vertical migration across interconnected aquifers. Communities within the coastal regions of North America are taking actions to manage and prevent saltwater intrusion to ensure a sustainable source of groundwater for the future. These actions can be grouped broadly into scientific monitoring and assessment, engineering techniques, and regulatory approaches. 相似文献

Numerical studies on saltwater intrusion in a coastal aquifer in northwestern Germany 总被引：1，自引：2，他引：1

Saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers depends on the distribution of hydraulic properties, on the climate, and on human interference such as land reclamation. In order to analyze the key processes that control saltwater intrusion, a hypothetical steady-state salt distribution in a representative cross-section perpendicular to the coastline was calculated using a two-dimensional density-dependent solute transport model. The effects of changes in groundwater recharge, lowering of drainage levels, and a rising sea level on the shape and position of the freshwater/saltwater interface were modeled in separate simulations. The results show that the exchange of groundwater and surface water in the marsh areas is one of the key processes influencing saltwater intrusion. A rising sea level causes rapid progression of saltwater intrusion, whereas the drainage network compensates changes in groundwater recharge. The time scale of changes resulting from altered boundary conditions is on the order of decades and centuries, suggesting that the present-day salt distribution does not reflect a steady-state of equilibrium. 相似文献

Three-dimensional transient groundwater flow and saltwater transport models were constructed to assess the impacts of groundwater abstraction and climate change on the coastal aquifer of Tra Vinh province (Vietnam). The groundwater flow model was calibrated with groundwater levels (2007–2016) measured in 13 observation wells. The saltwater transport model was compared with the spatial distribution of total dissolved solids. Model performance was evaluated by comparing observed and simulated groundwater levels. The projected rainfalls from two climate models (MIROC5 and CRISO Mk3.6) were subsequently used to simulate possible effects of climate changes. The simulation revealed that groundwater is currently depleted due to overabstraction. Towards the future, groundwater storage will continue to be depleted with the current abstraction regime, further worsening in the north due to saltwater intrusion from inland trapped saltwater and on the coast due to seawater intrusion. Notwithstanding, the impact from climate change may be limited, with the computed groundwater recharge from the two climate models revealing no significant change from 2017 to 2066. Three feasible mitigation scenarios were analyzed: (1) reduced groundwater abstraction by 25, 35 and 50%, (2) increased groundwater recharge by 1.5 and 2 times in the sand dunes through managed aquifer recharge (reduced abstraction will stop groundwater-level decline, while increased recharge will restore depleted storage), and (3) combining 50% abstraction reduction and 1.5 times recharge increase in sand dune areas. The results show that combined interventions of reducing abstraction and increasing recharge are necessary for sustainable groundwater resources development in Tra Vinh province.

Groundwater preservation comprises a major problem in water policy. The comprehension of the groundwater/hydraulic systems
can provide the means to approach this problem. Generally, drilling is expensive and time-consuming. On the other hand, new
techniques have been applied during the last few decades that provide useful information on the depth and quality of aquifers.
Among them, transient electromagnetic method (TEM) is an appealing method that provides fast results with minimum field crew
and solves several hydrogeological problems. Many portable systems for single-site measurements are commercially available.
The TEM-Fast 48HPC was used for acquiring 106 soundings in the northwestern Crete in Greece for defining the hydrogeological
characteristics of the study area, since there were no available data from boreholes. Detailed geological, hydrolithological
and tectonic survey was applied prior to the geophysical measurements. All the data were integrated to produce a secure and
reliable hydrogeological model for the study area prior to any future hydrowell. Specifically, geometrical and hydraulic data
of the study area groundwater were acquired. Two unconnected aquifers were detected and their possible contamination due to
saltwater intrusion was analyzed and eliminated. Moreover, a location for borehole construction and groundwater pumping based
on the potential of the aquifer system was proposed. Finally, the contribution of TEM (and electrical resistivity tomography)
geophysical methods in studying complex coastal aquifers is shown by this work. 相似文献

Origin and extent of fresh groundwater, salty paleowaters and recent saltwater intrusions in Red River flood plain aquifers, Vietnam 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

A model has been established on the origin and extent of fresh groundwater, salty paleowaters and saltwater from recent seawater intrusions in the Red River flood plain in Vietnam. This was done with geological observations, geophysical borehole logging and transient electromagnetic methods. Salt paleowater is present up to 50–75?km from the coastline, with occurrence controlled by the Holocene transgression. A density-driven leaching of salty porewater has occurred from high-permeability Holocene sediments into underlying Pleistocene deposits, whereas diffusion has dominated in low-permeability layers. In the Pleistocene aquifer, the highest content of dissolved solids is found below two intrinsic valleys with Holocene marine sediments and along the coastline. Recent intrusion of saltwater from the South China Sea is observed in shallow groundwater 35?km inland, probably a result of transport of salty water inland in rivers or leaching of paleowaters from very young near-coast marine sediments. The observed inverted salinity profile, with high saline water overlying fresher groundwater, has been formed due to the global eustatic sea-level changes during the last 8,000–9,000?years. The proposed model may therefore be applicable to other coastal aquifers, with a proper incorporation of the local geological environments. 相似文献

In many arid and semi-arid areas, intensive cultivation is practiced despite water commonly being a limiting factor. Often, irrigation water is from local aquifers or imported from out-of-area aquifers and surface reservoirs. Irrigation return flows become a significant local recharge source, but they may deteriorate aquifer water quality. La Aldea valley, located in the western sector of Gran Canaria Island (Atlantic Ocean), is a coastal, half-closed depression in altered, low-permeability volcanics with alluvium in the gullies and scree deposits over a large part of the area. This area is intensively cultivated. Irrigation water comes from reservoirs upstream and is supplemented (average 30 %) by local groundwater; supplementation goes up to 70 % in dry years, in which groundwater reserves are used up to exhaustion if the dry period persists. Thus, La Aldea aquifer is key to the water-supply system, whose recharge is mostly from return irrigation flows and the scarce local rainfall recharge on the scree formations, conveyed to the gully deposits. To quantify the hydrogeological conceptual model and check data coherence, a simplified numerical model has been constructed, which can be used as a tool to help in water management. 相似文献

Simulation-optimization approach to assess groundwater availability in Refugio County, TX 总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10
Sustainable management of groundwater resources is critical for viable development of semi-arid regions. Refugio County, TX,
is predominantly a rural community that is in close proximity to two large urban areas of Corpus Christi and San Antonio.
Large-scale water supply projects are being planned to export surplus water available in Refugio County to nearby growing
cities. Being a coastal county with several sensitive bays and estuaries, these projects have caused concerns with regard
to decreases in freshwater inflows to coastal bodies and raised the possibility of saltwater intrusion. A simulation model
characterizing groundwater flow in the shallower unconfined and the deeper semi-confined formations of the Gulf coast aquifer
was calibrated and evaluated. The model results were used in conjunction with a mathematical programming scheme to estimate
maximum available groundwater in the county. Stakeholder concerns were incorporated as constraints, which included prevention
of saltwater intrusion in the aquifer, limiting the amount of allowable drawdown in shallow aquifers, as well as maintaining
current flow gradients especially near baseflow-dependent streams and rivers. For the conditions assumed in this study, the
model results indicate that roughly 4.93 × 107 m3 of water can be extracted in a typical year. The management model was noted to be very sensitive to the imposed saltwater
intrusion constraint. 相似文献

Seawater intrusion is one of the most serious environmental problems in many coastal regions all over the world. Mixing a small quantity of seawater with groundwater makes it unsuitable for use and can result in abandonment of aquifers. Therefore, seawater intrusion should be prevented or at least controlled to protect groundwater resources. This paper presents development and application of a simulation‐optimization model to control seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers using different management scenarios; abstraction of brackish water, recharge of freshwater, and combination of abstraction and recharge. The model is based on the integration of a genetic algorithm optimisation technique and a coupled transient density‐dependent finite element model. The objectives of the management scenarios include determination of the optimal depth, location and abstraction/recharge rates for the wells to minimize the total costs for construction and operation as well as salt concentrations in the aquifer. The developed model is applied to analyze the control of seawater intrusion in a hypothetical confined coastal aquifer. The efficiencies of the three management scenarios are examined and compared. The results show that combination of abstraction and recharge wells is significantly better than using abstraction wells or recharge wells alone as it gives the least cost and least salt concentration in the aquifer. The results from this study would be useful in designing the system of abstraction/recharge wells to control seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers and can be applied in areas where there is a risk of seawater intrusion.

Water is a vital resource for the survival of not only human population, but also almost all ecosystems. Constituting 30 % of all freshwater, groundwater is the main source of available freshwater. Coastal aquifers, which serve as the major freshwater source for densely populated zones, are of vital importance and quite vulnerable to climate change. This paper examines the significant consequences of climate change, decreasing recharge rates, sea-level rise and increasing freshwater demand on the sustainable management of coastal aquifers, via a hypothetical case study. A 3-D numerical model is developed using SEAWAT, to simulate a circular island aquifer in the form of a freshwater lens surrounded by saltwater. Issues such as sloping land surface resulting in landward migration of the coastal boundary and transient response of the system due to pumping are considered through a set of predictive simulations. To assess the sensitivity of the model results to important parameters, a sensitivity analysis is performed. Results of this research, revealing the effects of mentioned pressures on the long-term sustainability of the freshwater resource, are evaluated on the basis of groundwater reserves and intrusion of the freshwater–saltwater interface in lateral and vertical directions. These outcomes are further used to determine the sustainable pumping rate of the system, considering both quantity and quality of the groundwater resources. 相似文献

Karst groundwater resources in the countries of eastern Mediterranean: the example of Lebanon 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The hydrogeological study of some karst systems in Lebanon shows important storage capacity, up to 27 billions m3 for Zarka system, the spring of Orontes River. Their geological and morphological settings, as well as their hydrodynamic
function, show structures developed below the level of present springs, probably up to several hundreds meters at depth. Since
Miocene, those carbonate formations were subject to a remarkable instability of their base levels. Variations of sea level,
of which the Messinian salinity crisis is the major phase, and effects of the alpine orogenesis, combined with climate variations
to develop complex, multiphased karst systems. Karstification occurs frequently in the whole formation, often deeply below
sea level or underneath sediment filling of continental basins. The surface karst landscape is often intensely eroded. Those
multiple, superimposed karst phases give the carbonate aquifers their large extension and storage capacity. These karst aquifers
show the typical easy restoration of storage. They have the ability to bear large interannual recharge variations and support
exploitation under high pumping rates. However, these aquifers have some disadvantages for sustainable management. In some
regions, successful boreholes, which allow high pumping rates also induce uncontrolled exploitation. Another consequence is
natural seawater intrusion, as well as the submarine discharge of fresh groundwater, in coastal aquifers. Those carbonate
aquifers are subject to important economical stress which jeopardizes their durability. The systematic study and understanding
of carbonate aquifers in Eastern Mediterranean is a preliminary condition to any integrated and sustainable management of
water resources. Studies in progress in Lebanon may serve as examples to the whole region. 相似文献

The coastal aquifer of Oropesa is affected by salinization processes undoubtedly associated with intense groundwater exploitation
for agriculture supply. The aquifer corresponds geologically to a tectonic depression with Plioquaternary fill. Hydrogeologically,
this aquifer is detrital, with intergranular porosity, which receives substantial recharge from adjacent Mesozoic aquifers.
Contact with the sea, in addition to the presence of cultivated soil requiring extreme exploitation of groundwater, frequently
give rise to processes of seawater intrusion. The present research is an attempt to understand the saltwater intrusion in
this aquifer, using hydrochemical analyses of the behavior of certain minor ions that could help in the characterization process.
In the case of the Oropesa sector, groundwater salinization does not appear to be attributable solely to the intrusion of
seawater, but there are also anomalies related largely to the geology of the sector and its surroundings, the type of recharge,
the hydrodynamic conditions in the specific area, etc.

Development of a 3D groundwater model based on scarce data: the Wadi Kafrein catchment/Jordan 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

In this work, a 3D groundwater flow model integrating all important geological features of the hydrogeological system is developed
to investigate hydrological processes in the Wadi Kafrein area of Jordan. A large amount of available geological and hydrological
data is integrated to construct a 3D groundwater flow model for the Wadi Kafrein area. Using the newly developed mapping approach,
the translation of the highly detailed geological formations to an unstructured finite element grids, can be accomplished
with high precision. The existing data set for model calibration is scarce, which is a typical situation for many hydrogeological
case studies. At first, the steady state calibration of the groundwater model is carried out based on the observation wells.
Then, the time and space-dependent recharge from precipitation are applied at the top surface of the finite element model.
The transient simulation is conducted during the period of 1996–2008 considering the abstraction rates of the production wells
and discharge of the springs. The calculated water levels are close to the observed values. The difference is partly caused
by return flows from irrigation and the groundwater inflow from the adjacent aquifers which are not taken into consideration
so far. Since the Wadi Kafrein area is an important agricultural area in the semiarid region of the Lower Jordan Valley, the
model developed in this study can be regarded as a useful tool for analyzing the hydrological processes and improving groundwater
management practices elsewhere affected by similar geological and hydrogeological conditions. 相似文献

Based on the geological and hydrogeological conditions along with dynamic changes of groundwater level, this paper analyzes the hydrodynamic characteristics of saltwater intrusion in the study area. According to monitoring data of groundwater quality, the distribution characteristics of macro component are analyzed, and then fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is adopted to evaluate the impact of saltwater intrusion on groundwater environment. Concerning the influence degree of groundwater environment, the study area is divided into brine area, seriously influenced area, moderately influenced zone, slightly influenced zone and uninfluenced zone. The results can offer references for prevention and control of saltwater intrusion as well as the protection of water resources. 相似文献

Understanding the transference of water resources within hydrogeological systems, particularly in coastal aquifers, in which groundwater discharge may occur through multiple pathways (through springs, into rivers and streams, towards the sea, etc.), is crucial for sustainable groundwater use. This research aims to demonstrate the usefulness of the application of conventional recharge assessment methods coupled to isotopic techniques for accurately quantifying the hydrogeological balance and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) from coastal carbonate aquifers. Sierra Almijara (Southern Spain), a carbonate aquifer formed of Triassic marbles, is considered as representative of Mediterranean coastal karst formations. The use of a multi-method approach has permitted the computation of a wide range of groundwater infiltration rates (17–60%) by means of direct application of hydrometeorological methods (Thornthwaite and Kessler) and spatially distributed information (modified APLIS method). A spatially weighted recharge rate of 42% results from the most coherent information on physiographic and hydrogeological characteristics of the studied system. Natural aquifer discharge and groundwater abstraction have been volumetrically quantified, based on flow and water-level data, while the relevance of SGD was estimated from the spatial analysis of salinity, 222Rn and the short-lived radium isotope 224Ra in coastal seawater. The total mean aquifer discharge (44.9–45.9 hm3 year?1) is in agreement with the average recharged groundwater (44.7 hm3 year?1), given that the system is volumetrically equilibrated during the study period. Besides the groundwater resources assessment, the methodological aspects of this research may be interesting for groundwater management and protection strategies in coastal areas, particularly karst environments. 相似文献

Greece is dependent on groundwater resources for its water supply. The main aquifers are within carbonate rocks (karstic aquifers)
and coarse grained Neogene and Quaternary deposits (porous aquifers). The use of groundwater resources has become particularly
intensive in coastal areas during the last decades with the intense urbanization, tourist development and irrigated land expansion.
Sources of groundwater pollution are the seawater intrusion due to over-exploitation of coastal aquifers, the fertilizers
from agricultural activities and the disposal of untreated wastewater in torrents or in old pumping wells. In the last decades
the total abstractions from coastal aquifers exceed the natural recharge; so the aquifer systems are not used safely. Over-exploitation
causes a negative water balance, triggering seawater intrusion. Seawater intrusion phenomena are recorded in coastal aquifer
systems. Nitrate pollution is the second major source of groundwater degradation in many areas in Greece. The high levels
of nitrate are probably the result of over-fertilization and the lack of sewage systems in some urban areas. 相似文献

为实现滨海含水层地下水开采-回灌方案优化、控制海水入侵面积和降低海水入侵损失等多重管理目标,建立了海水入侵条件下地下水多目标模拟优化管理模型SWT-NPTSGA。模拟模型采用基于变密度流的数值模拟程序SEAWAT来模拟海水入侵过程。优化模型采用小生境Pareto禁忌遗传混合算法NPTSGA来求解,该算法在保证多目标权衡解的收敛性和计算效率的前提下,能维护整个进化群体的全局多样性。将SWT-NPTSGA程序应用于一个理想滨海含水层地下水开采方案和人工回灌控制海水入侵的优化设计中,结果表明该管理模型能够同时处理最大化总抽水流量、最小化人工回灌总量和最小化海水入侵范围等3个目标函数之间的权衡关系。通过采用人工回灌海水入侵区的减灾策略,既能增加滨海地区的供水量,又可减少海水入侵的范围,由此进一步验证了模型的有效性和可靠性。 相似文献
