EFFECT OF GEOPHYSICAL PARAMETERS ON ATTENUATION OF CONTAMINANT IN FRESHWATER COASTAL AQUIFERS

Freshwater coastal aquifers can be contaminated by influx of seawater. The study investigated the effect of geophysical parameter such as seepage velocity (v) determined empirically on the mass flux (J) of contaminant through the coastal aquifers. Porosities of the grains were determined and tagged...
