Abstract
Coastal aquifers are susceptible to a variety of salt water intrusion forms, including lateral intrusion, upconing, and downward infiltration of brackish water. Recent advances in the development of practical integrated groundwater models now make it possible to simulate these forms of salt water intrusion in support of coastal water supply planning and coastal aquifer management programs. Three dimensional groundwater flow models, dual phase sharp interface intrusion models, and single phase contaminant transport models are being successfully applied around the country to meet regulatory permit requirements, and to develop coastal groundwater management plans.
