Application of the top specific boundary layer (TSBL)approximation to initial characterization of an inland aquifer mineralization: 2. Seepage of saltwater through semi-confining layers

摘要

This paper presents a generalized basic study that addresses practical needs for an understand- ing of the major mechanisms involved in the mineralization of groundwater in the Great Bend Prairie aquifer in south-central Kanasas. This Quaternary alluvial aquifer associated surface Waters are subject to contamination by saltwater, which in some areas seeps from the deeper Permian bedrock formation into the overlying freshwater aquifer through semiconfining layers. A Simplified conceptual model in adopted. It incorporates the freshwater aquifer whose bottom is Comprised of a semiconfining layer through which a hydrologically minor but geochemically Important saline water discharge seeps into the aquifer.
