基本説明

The goal of this monograph is to disseminate a fundamental understanding of the physical processes of saltwater contamination of shallow sandy aquifers due to an event like December 2004 tsunami or a storm surge event like Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005. The main objectives of this book are, 1. Describe the processes occurring in the unstable phenomena associated with tsunami contamination and its nature 2. Disseminate knowledge on parameters which influence saltwater plume migration, use of field experiments, physical experiments and computational modeling, 3. Provide guidelines for mitigation of such contamination and water use after such incident Summary Contaminants are typically released into the subsurface as constituents of a liquid phase in small concentrations with low contaminating speed.

Description

(Short description)
Detailing the fundamentals of the physical process of saltwater contamination of shallow sandy aquifers, whether by tsunami or storm surge, this volume also offers approaches to testing coastal aquifers as well as guidelines for mitigating contamination.

The goal of this monograph is to disseminate a fundamental understanding of the physical processes of saltwater contamination of shallow sandy aquifers due to an event like December 2004 tsunami or a storm surge event like Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005. The main objectives of this book are, 1. Describe the processes occurring in the unstable phenomena associated with tsunami contamination and its nature 2. Disseminate knowledge on parameters which influence saltwater plume migration, use of field experiments, physical experiments and computational modeling, 3. Provide guidelines for mitigation of such contamination and water use after such incident Summary Contaminants are typically released into the subsurface as constituents of a liquid phase in small concentrations with low contaminating speed. Tsunami is a natural hazard which is very fast and therefore the contamination time is also fast. However, the contamination resides very long as well as it can make huge devastation for the whole environment including groundwater. First chapter will discuss the characteristics of tsunami as a natural hazard and its effects. Tsunamis occurs in coastal areas and therefore the groundwater in coastal regions faces contamination by saltwater during a tsunami event. Before discussing the contamination of the aquifer it is important to know the characteristics of such aquifer systems.
