Preliminary Results from Unsaturated Zone Studies in Unconfined Unconsolidated Coastal Aquifers

Preliminary Results from Unsaturated Zone Studies in Unconfined Unconsolidated Coastal Aquifers

Chloride concentration and salinity tend to vary spatially in depth within the unsaturated zone, according to the local hydrologic conditions; and therefore are widely used as naturally occurring environmental tracers. In this study, undisturbed material from the unsaturated zone was collected at re...
