Gaza Coastal Aquifer, Palestine:
Coastal aquifer management planning

The Gaza coastal aquifer in Palestine is threatened by saltwater intrusion. This project brought together the themes of coastal aquifer management, seawater intrusion modeling adn density dependent flow modeling. A coupled-flow and transport model was used to investigate the extent of saltwater intrusion in both historic and predictive simulations. The model was very successful in defining the nature and scale of saltwater intrusion and will be an integral tool for future aquifer management.
