Application of radioisotope techniques to control flow process during artificial coastal aquifer recharge

  • 1. Department of Territorial Engineering, University of Cagliari, Cagliari (Italy)

Description

Radioisotope techniques was applied for studying the flow and transport processes in a coastal confined aquifer during an artificial recharge experiment to check the feasibility of controlling salt water intrusion by a hydrodynamic barrier. As no other water source is available, artificial recharge is done using treated wastewaters. Flow and effective velocity, hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, diffusivity and effective porosity have been determined by means of I-131 radioisotope in single- and multi-well tests. (author)
