Delineating the actual location and shape of the freshwater-saltwater transition zone is a prerequisite for long-term prediction of groundwater quality in coastal regions. Two sites with saltwater intrusion problems in Mallorca are currently investigated within the framework of the European research project ALIANCE. Whereas the extent of the saltwater intrusion is well known and easy to underst...

As part of a large hydroelectric project in northern Québec (Canada), a portion of the flow of the Rupert River was diverted toward the existing La Grande hydroelectric complex. As a result of the partial diversion, the discharge of the Rupert River at its mouth is reduced by an average of 50% annually. This corresponds to an 18% decrease in the total freshwater inflow into the bay and, thus, t...

Abstract Saltwater intrusion is a severe concern in coastal locations that pose threat to the groundwater environment. Climate change, tidal effects, and exploitation all have potential disrupt balance of salt water fresh aquifers which result seawater included studies area. The sea-level rise regarded as cause can enhance saltwater interface inland migration. Therefore, purpose this study asse...

In recent decades, increasing frequency and intensity of saltwater intrusion in the Modaomen Channel has threatened the freshwater supply in the surrounding cities of the Pearl River Estuary, and ulteriorly changed the environmental conditions of the estuarine waters. Phytoplankton biomass, primary production (PP) and species composition, as well as hydrological and chemical parameters were exa...

This study identifies hydrogeologic characteristics of complex aquifers based on constructing stratigraphic structure with large, non-uniform well log data. The approach was validated through a modeling the irrigation-intensive Chicot aquifer system, which is an important Pleistocene-Holocene Coastal Lowlands system in southwestern Louisiana. Various types were unified into same data structure,...

The present study implements a stochastic optimization technique to optimally manage freshwater pumping from coastal aquifers. Our simulations utilize the well-known sharp interface model for saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers together with its known analytical solution. The objective is to maximize the total volume of freshwater pumped by the wells from the aquifer while, at the same time...

This manuscript addresses identification, analysis, formation and occurrence of key disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed during chlorination and/or ozonation of both natural seawater (NSW), and synthetic high- and low-bromide saltwater (HBSW and LBSW, respectively). In this study, several groups of water disinfection byproducts were studied, including haloacetic acids (HAAs), halonitromethanes...

alligator may be found in the southeastern United States, from North Carolina to Louisiana. The saltwater crocodile is found in Southeast Asia and Australia, with males reaching lengths of up to 23 feet (7 m). Victims of crocodilian attacks sustain trauma from a combination of penetrating, blunt, and sheer force. The saltwater crocodile can generate 2000 psi when it bites. The sheer magnitude o...
