Simulation of the Movement of Groundwater in an Aquifer

This study investigates the impact of extracting fresh water from areas where salt water and fresh water meet in tropical regions. Traditionally, fresh water is expected to be found above salt water in the ocean or underground. To carry out the investigation, Green's Function method is used, an...

description This study investigates the impact of extracting fresh water from areas where salt water and fresh water meet in tropical regions. Traditionally, fresh water is expected to be found above salt water in the ocean or underground. To carry out the investigation, Green's Function method is used, and a numerical chart is presented that includes an equation derived from Green's II matching. The study computes the shape of the interface during water withdrawal and flows through the basins and sources of the line. In addition, this study obtains an analytical solution to the linear problem for the non-withdrawal scenario. Finally, the study identifies the maximum rate of water withdrawal before the initial breakthrough of salt water for different density ratios.
