Abstract

Thank you for the comments [...]

Simulation of the Movement of Groundwater in an Aquifer

“…However, this supply is threatened by various factors, such as the interface between freshwater and saltwater layers, surface channels, and pumping practices. To ensure continued access to freshwater, it is crucial to conserve the freshwater lens and use efficient extraction practices to prevent saltwater intrusion and depletion of the freshwater supply [1]. Figure (1) provides a visual representation of this process.…”

“…To ensure continued access to freshwater, it is crucial to conserve the freshwater lens and use efficient extraction practices to prevent saltwater intrusion and depletion of the freshwater supply [1]. Figure (1) provides a visual representation of this process. According to the United Nations, around 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and this number is expected to increase due to population growth and climate change [2].…”
