Abstract Countermeasures against saltwater intrusion (SWI) are critical to prevent coastal groundwater deterioration. Among different measures SWI, subsurface dams have shown be an effective approach, but it is likely produce residual behind the dam in a landward aquifer. This study investigated influences of design and aquifer properties on dynamic characteristics field‐scale for first time revealed desalinization mechanism from point mixing zone. It was found that low‐concentration zone...

Abstract Recent studies have confirmed the instability of tide‐induced upper saline plume (USP) in tidal beach aquifers. A systematic understanding how unstable USP contributes to groundwater flow and salinity distribution is still lacking. Here we used laboratory experiments numerical simulations examine responses submarine discharge (SGD) flow. The results revealed that changes physical forcing conditions (tides inland freshwater input) drove transition from stable states. Meanwhile,...

Fresh groundwater resources in coastal regions are valuable but deteriorated by seawater intrusion. To prevent deterioration of the fresh resources, a common approach is to build cut-off walls. However, construction walls may trap large amount residual saltwater landward aquifer. This study explored dynamic behavior and desalination process intruding after wall, using numerical model validated against laboratory experiment. Field-scale simulations reveal that fast repulsion proceeds within...

Abstract Temporal changes in the external forcing conditions of coastal aquifer systems, such as seasonal inland freshwater input, may disturb balance between ocean forces and hydraulic gradient. An increase or decrease this imbalance affect stability tide‐induced upper saline plume (USP). In study, we performed laboratory experiments numerical simulations to investigate influence input on USP associated behavior seawater intrusion (SWI) submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). contrast...
