Development and application of diagnostic tools for seawater intrusion analysis in highly heterogeneous coastal aquifers

We developed novel, computationally efficient, methods as effective screening tools to analyze seawater intrusion processes in highly heterogeneous coastal aquifer systems. They enable delineation of pumping wells capture zones and swept zones associated to injection wells for remediation of seawate...
