Description
(Text)
The importance of Groundwater as the most readily available source of freshwater, cannot be overemphasised. Sadly, the rate of over-exploitation and vulnerability to pollution of groundwater resources have increased drastically in the wake of anthropogenic influences and climate change. Coastal aquifers are faced with additional unique challenges of seawater intrusion. Robust approaches are required to investigate the dynamics of these aquifers for sustainable management. This book applied statistical, geospatial and modelling approaches to investigate the groundwater quality, flow and vulnerability to seawater intrusion of a coastal aquifer in a complementary manner. Statistical techniques including correlation coefficients, cross plots and Piper plots were applied. Aquifer vulnerability was assessed using GALDIT index. GW flow and solute transport were simulated using MODFLOW, MT3D and SEAWAT. The book provides insight to aspiring specialists in groundwater research and practice. The practicality and applicability of the approaches highlighted will also prove valuable to coastal and groundwater experts aiming to explore interdisciplinary approaches to groundwater studies.
