NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF EFFECTS OF HYDRAULIC GRADIENT ON MASS FLUX OF SALTWATER INTRUSION IN COASTAL AQUIFERS

Coastal aquifers are distinguished from other aquifers because of saltwater intrusion effects, which cause contamination of groundwater in coastal regions. This study addressed the significance of hydraulic gradient and porosity of the coastal aquifers on contaminant transport of saltwater. Results...
