“…Typically, the volume of the extracted water is less than the injected water and a buffer zone with marginal quality of water is created that helps in controlling the inland advancement of saltwater wedge (Misut and Voss, 2007). The buffer zone basically holds the recoverable fraction of water.…”

“…Therefore, ASR can be considered as one of the management options to control SWI besides its other positive role in water production/demand issues and maintaining the seasonal fluctuation in groundwater storage (Chen, 2014;Lu et al, 2011). Misut and Voss (2007) investigated the beneficial aspects of ASR in controlling SWI by defining a series of ASR wells in different confined/unconfined aquifers of a regional case study in the USA.…”

This paper presents the results obtained from the application of aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) technique to control seawater intrusion (SWI) in coastal aquifers. The study is based on the numerical modelling experiments performed using the SUTRA (Saturated-Unsaturated TRAnsport) finite-element code on the Wadi Ham aquifer in the UAE. A three-dimensional numerical model of this aquifer is developed and calibrated based on the available hydrogeological data in real scale. A significant amount of SWI has been calculated for the year 2015 due to the high rates of pumping from the available local well fields. To study the future responses of the aquifer to different control actions, the transient responses of SWI are simulated over a 10-year planning horizon. The proposed management measure (ASR) is implemented in repeated cycles of artificial recharge, storage and recovery using an additional set of wells defined in the model. The results show that ASR is a reliable method in controlling SWI in coastal aquifer systems besides its conventional role in subsurface water banking.

“…The sources of freshwater in coastal aquifers is typically limited to precipitation, river water or irrigation water whereas the source of salt in groundwater (independent of the original source of the water itself) can be of meteoric origin, from water-rock interaction, salts derived from remnant formation water trapped in sediments and anthropogenic salts that may include salts from irrigation, salt/seawater bodies, wastewater, road salt and gypsum applied to improve agricultural soil quality (Marie and Vengosh 2001;Vengosh 2003;Qahman et al 2005;Misut and Voss 2007;El Yaouti et al 2009;Mollema et al 2013;Bouzourra et al 2014).…”

Coastal aquifers are at threat of salinization in most parts of the world. This work investigated the seasonal hydrochemical evolution of coastal groundwater resources in Urmia plain, NW Iran. Two recently proposed methods have been used to comparison, recognize and understand the temporal and spatial evolution of saltwater intrusion in a coastal alluvial aquifer. The study takes into account that saltwater intrusion is a dynamic process, and that seasonal variations in the balance of the aquifer cause changes in groundwater chemistry. Pattern diagrams, which constitute the outcome of several hydrochemical processes, have traditionally been used to characterize vulnerability to sea/ saltwater intrusion. However, the formats of such diagrams do not facilitate the geospatial analysis of groundwater quality, thus limiting the ability of spatio-temporal mapping and monitoring. This deficiency calls for methodologies which can translate information from some diagrams such Piper diagram into a format that can be mapped spatially.Distribution of groundwater chemistry types in Urmia plain based on modified Piper diagram using GQI Piper(mix) and GQI Piper(dom) indices that Mixed Ca-Mg-Cl and Ca-HCO 3 are the dominant water types in the wet and dry seasons, respectively. In this study, a groundwater quality index specific to seawater intrusion (GQI SWI ) was used to check its efficiency for the groundwater samples affected by Urmia hypersaline Lake, Iran. Analysis of the main processes, by means of the Hydrochemical Facies Evolution Diagram (HFE-Diagram), provides essential knowledge about the main hydrochemical processes. Subsequently, analysis of the spatial distribution of hydrochemical facies using heatmaps helps to identify the general state of the aquifer with respect to saltwater intrusion during different sampling periods. The HFE-D results appear to be very successful for differentiating variations through time in the salinization processes caused by saltwater intrusion into the aquifer, distinguishing the phase of saltwater intrusion from the phase of recovery, and their respective evolutions. Both GQI and HFE-D methods show that hydrochemical variations can be read in terms of the pattern of saltwater intrusion and groundwater quality status. But generally, in this case (i.e. saltwater and not seawater intrusion) the HFE-D method was presented better efficiency than GQI method (including GQI Piper and GQI SWI ).

“…These studies are, firstly, comparisons between ASR sites, such as the studies executed by e.g., Merritt (1986), Dillon et al (2006), Lowry and Anderson (2006) and Misut and Voss (2007). On the other hand, there are theoretical considerations regarding dimensionless parameter groups in analytical solutions, as described by e.g., Esmail and Kimbler (1967), Ward et al (2007Ward et al ( , 2008Ward et al ( , 2009) and Bakker (2010).…”
