Numerical Simulation of Saltwater Intrusion Caused by Land-Use Change and Groundwater Pumping in a Salinity-Affected Coastal Aquifer, Japan
Lowering of groundwater level may cause saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. Since decrease in groundwater recharge rate and overpumping lower groundwater level, recharge rate and pumping rate are main factors of saltwater intrusion In the study area, the land-use has been changing since a university campus was newly constructed. Therefore, there is concern that this rapid land-use change will
