Laboratory and Numerical Study of Saltwater Upconing in Fractured Coastal Aquifers

This study investigated the saltwater upconing mechanism in fractured coastal aquifers. Head-induced saline intrusion was initiated into three narrow sandbox aquifers containing individual horizontal discontinuities placed on different positions. Subsequently, using a peristaltic pump, freshwater wa...
