Abstract:<p>Freshwater lenses are an important water resource in coastal areas as well as on oceanic islands, and understanding the dynamic forces acting upon this resource is vital for their sustainable management. A key water-management objective is to understand and manage these freshwater lenses, which requires accurate estimates of drawdown and groundwater recharge. Groundwater levels in such systems, however, are dominated by multiple dynamic factors, such as tidally and meteorologically forced ocea… Show more
