Laboratory and Numerical Investigation of Saltwater Intrusion Processes in a Circular Island Aquifer

Abstract: A novel radial flow experimental system to study saltwater intrusion processes in an island aquifer is presented. The study investigated steady state and transient scenarios involving advancing and receding saltwater wedges in a circular island. The experimental results were simulated using the density‐coupled version of the MODFLOW‐USG code. The experimental data along with the model simulation results are employed to develop a new radial benchmark problem for testing density‐coupled models used for simulatin… Show more

“…Fresh groundwater stored on oceanic islands is mainly recharged from precipitation and its availability can be impacted by a variety of factors, including island topography, rainfall patterns, tides, episodic storms and human activities (White & Falkland, 2010;Storlazzi et al, 2018). Among these, seawater intrusion is another important issue that greatly affects oceanic island freshwater storage and is thus of considerable interest (e.g., Werner et al, 2017;Lu et al, 2019;Memari et al, 2020).…”
