The salt water mixes with fresh water and forms brackish water. The brackish water contains some quantity of salt, but not equal to sea water. Salinity determines the geographic distribution of the number of marshes found in estuary. Hence salinity is a very important environmental factor in estuary system. Sand is one major natural aggregate, required in construction industry mainly for the manufacture of concrete. The availability of good river sand is reduced due to salinity. The quality of sand available from estuarine regions is adversely affected due to this reason. It is the responsibility of engineers to check the quality of sand and its strength parameters before using it for any construction purpose. Presence of salt content in natural aggregates or manufactured aggregates is the cause for corrosion in steel. In this study the amount of salinity present in estuary sand was determined. Three different methods were used to determine the salinity in different seasonal variations. The sand sample collected nearer to the sea was found to be high in salinity in all methods.  It can be concluded that care should be taken before we use estuary sand as a construction material due to the presence of salinity.

Ice Melt

In an experimental and theoretical study, we model a phenomenon observed in the summer Arctic, where a fresh-water layer at a temperature of 0°C floats both over a sea-water layer at its freezing point and under an ice layer. Our results show that the ice growth in this system takes place in three phases. First, because the fresh-water density decreases upon supercooling, the rapid diffusion of heat relative to salt from the fresh to the salt water causes a density inversion and thereby generates a high Rayleigh number convection in the fresh water. In this convection, supercooled water rises to the ice layer, where it nucleates into thin vertical interlocking ice crystals. When these sheets grow down to the interface, supercooling ceases. Second, the presence of the vertical ice sheets both constrains the temperatureTand salinitysto lie on the freezing curve and allows them to diffuse in the vertical. In the interfacial region, the combination of these processes generates a lateral crystal growth, which continues until a horizontal ice sheet forms. Third, because of theTandsgradients in the sea water below this ice sheet, the horizontal sheet both migrates upwards and increases in thickness. From one-dimensional theoretical models of the first two phases, we find that the heat-transfer rates are 5–10 times those calculated for classic thermal diffusion.

The Impact

AbstractIn such problematic water situation in Egypt, control and saving of the available limited quantity takes great importance from both technical and national points of view. In addition to all the well-known traditional reasons of the problem such as pollution, over usage, and bad traditions of dealing with water, a new very important reason is added nowadays, called “Climate Changes” which has a direct impact on sea water rising, that causes a serious attack of the salt water to the fresh water especially in River Deltas., Not only the surface water, but also the ground water. Since that process proved some acceleration, several investigations have recently considered the worst impacts of climate change and sea water level rise on sea water intrusion. Most of them have revealed the severity of such problem, and the significance of the land movement of the dispersion zone under the sea water level rise situation. In this paper, we try to introduce a technical review and study for the most popular studies concerning our topic, and its most important conclusions, as an approach for preparing the Ph.D. thesis about the Nile Delta water equilibrium in the light of the expected Mediterranean Sea water level rise. Nile Delta, which located between Damietta Branch on the East, and Rosetta Branch on the west, occupies about 20000 square kilometers of the most rich, productive land in Egypt. About 50% of Egyptian population live in that area, agriculture is the main human activities on them, so water is the prime factor in their life, and their agriculture investments. The great amount of this investment depends on the ground water, which faces a serious challenge due to, two reasons, first, is the overuse, and over pumping, while the second is the attack of the salt water due to the Mediterranean Seawater level rise, because of the climate changes. These two reasons must be overcome, if the first reason can be controlled by law, and technical roles, the second reason needs intensive studies and investigations concerning the interaction between seawater and fresh ground water.

Fluid Concentration

Energy demands for osmotic regulation and the possible osmoregulatory role of the thyroid gland were investigated in the euryhaline starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus. Using a melting-point technique, it was established that flounder could regulate body fluid concentration independently of widely divergent environmental salinities. Small flounder experienced more rapid disturbances of body fluid concentration than large flounder after abrupt salinity alterations.The standard metabolic rate of flounder adapted to fresh water was consistently and significantly less than that of marine flounder. In supernormal salinities standard metabolic rate was significantly greater than in normal sea water. These findings agree with the theory that energy demands for active electrolyte transport are greater in sea water than fresh water.Thyroid activity was studied in flounder adapted to fresh water and salt water. Percentage uptake of radioiodine by the thyroid was shown to be an insensitive and inaccurate criterion for evaluating thyroid activity in different salinities because removal rates of radioiodine from the body and blood differed between fresh water and marine flounder. Using thyroid clearance of radioiodine from the blood as a measure of activity, salt-water flounder were shown to have much greater thyroid clearance rates and, hence, more active thyroid glands than flounder adapted to fresh water. The greater activity of the thyroid of marine flounder correlates with greater oxygen demands in sea water and suggests a direct or adjunctive osmoregulatory role of the thyroid gland of fish.

Gravid Females

The brackish water form of A. gambiae on the East African coast—and probably in Mauritius—is not the same as A. melas of West Africa.In salt-water gambiae a variable proportion of the females have an additional dark band on the palps, resembling 4-banded melas, but the remainder are indistinguishable from typical gambiae.Eggs and larvae of salt-water gambiae show no morphological differences from those of fresh-water gambiae, thereby differing from A. melas of West Africa.Larvae of the two forms show a clear-cut difference in reaction to sudden changes in salinity, and a simple test has been worked out whereby wild-caught females can be accurately identified by the reactions of their progeny.This physiological test has formed the basis of all work in comparing the incidence, habits, and infectivity of salt and fresh-water gambiae in Dar-es-Salaam.Exposed to equal chances of infection in the same village during 1947 and 1948, fresh-water gambiae had a sporozoite rate of 9·4 per cent. while that of salt-water gambiae was 0·8 per cent.About 4 per cent, of both forms were infected with filaria larvae, but monthly figures showed that infection rates in salt-water gambiae may rise to 22 per cent.Fresh-water gambiae show little tendency to leave African houses at dawn after feeding, whereas in salt-water gambiae over one-third of freshly blood-fed females leave the house at dawn.In fresh-water gambiae many half-gravid females leave the shelter of the house at dusk on the night after the blood feed. There is no marked difference in infectivity between those which leave the hut and those which remain indoors at this stage.Blood-fed and gravid females of fresh-water gambiae, funestus, and salt-water gambiae have been found in outdoor resting places, gravid females predominating in the case of the first two.Although larvae of salt-water gambiae can complete their development in pure sea water, in nature increasing salinity becomes a limiting factor before it reaches that of sea water, continuous breeding being no longer possible at salinities over 83 per cent. sea water.Salinity as a limiting factor explains the rather restricted breeding of salt-water gambiae on the coast, and suggests that certain coastal fresh-water swamps at Dar-es-Salaam could be cleared of all Anopheline breeding by salinifying with sea water.

Newly Hatched Larvae

Larvae of Aedes argenteus reared in fresh water are killed by 1.1 per cent. NaCl or by "sea water"1 isotonic with 1.3-1.4 per cent. NaCl. Newly hatched larvae are killed by 1.1 per cent. NaCl or "sea water" equivalent to 1.3 per cent. NaCl. By gradually increasing the concentration, larvae can be made resistant to 1.1 per cent. NaCl and to "sea water" equivalent to 1.75 percent. NaCl (50 per cent. sea water). The nature of the physiological adaptation in these larvae has been studied and the following conclusions reached: 1. The elastic strands in the cells of the gills become exaggerated, and these cells resist swelling in hypertonic salt solutions. 2. There are changes in the epithelium of the mid-gut so that: (a) the cells are no longer caused to swell up and become detached from the basement membrane; and (b) the mid-gut and caeca can absorb the salt fluid and so avoid the excessive distension which occurs in unadapted larvae. 3. It is possible that the Malpighian tubes excrete a more concentrated urine and that the reabsorptive activity of the rectum is increased. The mosquito larva appears to be homoiosmotic in both fresh water and in hypertonic salt water.

Six different types of secretory cells were identified by light and electron microscopy in the adenohypophyseal pars distalis of yearling coho salmon acclimated to fresh or salt water. Prolactin cells are markedly more active in the freshwater than the seawater fish; these cells exhibit definite functional activity 3 days after transfer from salt to fresh water, indicating an osmoregulatory role of prolactin in the freshwater environment. Plasma sodium showed a significant decline 6 h after transfer from sea water to fresh water and, even after 1 week, remained lower than in the fully acclimated freshwater fish. Corticotropic (ACTH) cells did not appear cytologically different in freshwater and seawater fish. GH cells, the most prominent cells in the proximal pars distalis, appear more numerous and more granulated in the seawater fish, suggesting an osmoregulatory involvement in young coho salmon. Putative thyrotropic (TSH) and putative gonadotropic cells (GTH) can be distinguished by differences in granulation; only one type of GTH cell is evident with ultrastructural features that differ from those of sexually mature salmon. Stellate, non-granulated cells occur in all regions of the adenohypophysis but more frequently in the prolactin follicles; they are much more prominent in the seawater than freshwater fish.

Some effects of intratracheal administration of 0.1 ml/100 gm body weight of fresh and sea water were studied in intact and vagotomized rats. No local changes were seen in the lungs after fresh water inhalation. A marked increase in lung weight and intra-alveolar hemorrhages developed following the aspiration of sea water. Fatal respiratory arrest occurred in some cases of salt water and cold fresh water inhalation. Bilateral cervical vagotomy prior to the intratracheal fluid administration failed to affect the incidence of respiratory arrest. Submitted on November 30, 1959

A geoelectrical investigation was conducted in an area of northwestern Missouri which was previously explored by drill holes. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate the effectiveness of the method in locating potable groundwater. It was found that resistivity depth soundings using the Schlumberger arrangement can partially localize and determine the thickness and depth of both near‐surface and basal fresh‐water‐bearing gravel bodies in glacial deposits. The basal gravel is usually confined to preglacial stream channels and has a particular importance as a fresh‐water aquifer. Only in a few cases does the resistivity increase at the depth of the bedrock. More often the depth soundings show an appreciable increase of resistivity at a depth well within the bedrock. High permeability and porosity at a lower water conductivity in the gravel is compensated by lower permeability and porosity at a higher water conductivity in the bedrock. This can explain why the formation resistivities found from depth soundings are basically the same. An increase of resistivity in the deeper bedrock occurs due to a tightening of fissures containing salt water. In one particular well, which penetrates a basal gravel, it can be shown that the salt content of the well water originates from salt water encroachment, most likely from the bedrock.

Di Indonesia khususnya Kalimantan Selatan, sumber air yang digunakan kebanyakan adalah air sungai. Namun saat kemarau seperti bulan juli-agustus, air sungai banyak yang telah tekontaminasi air laut yang menyebabkan air menjadi asin akibat intrusi air laut. Salah satu teknologi yang dapat digunakan untuk memisahkan garam terlarut yang ada adalah dengan menggunakan teknologi membran dengan proses desalinasi. Membran yang digunakan adalah membran silika. Namun silika memiliki hidrostabilitas yang rendah sehingga perlu disisipkan dengan karbon yang terbuat dari pektin limbah kulit pisang agar memperkuat struktur pori maupun hidrostabilitas membran itu sendiri agar menambah kekuatan membran untuk menyaring kandungan garam yang ada pada air rawa asin. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui kinerja dari membran silika-pektin pisang dengan proses sintesis membran 4 layer (Konsentrasi pektin 0,1% dengan suhu kalsinasi 300 oC dan 400 oC dengan teknik RTP (Rapid Thermal Processing) menggunakan metode pervaporasi (PV) serta air laut artifisial sebagai air umpan (NaCl 0,3 wt%) dengan suhu ruang (25 0 C).  Diperoleh hasil penelitian konsentrasi pektin 0,1 % dengan suhu kalsinasi 300 oC dan 400 oC adalah berturut-turut 5,45 dan 13,70 Kgm-2h-1. Sementara itu, nilai rejeksi kedua membran ini berturut-turut 91,94 % dan 92,08. Jadi,  kinerja kedua membran silika pektin tersebut yang paling baik adalah pada suhu kalsinasi 400oC untuk deslinasi air asin. Kata kunci : Air asin, desalinasi, membran silika-pektin, pervaporasi. In Indonesia, especially South Kalimantan, the source of water used is mostly river water. But during the dry season like July-August, many river water has contaminated sea water which causes the water to become salty due to sea water intrusion. One technology that can be used to separate existing dissolved salts is to use membrane technology with the desalination process. The membrane used is the silica membrane. However, silica has low hydrostability so it needs to be inserted with carbon made from pectin from banana peel waste in order to strengthen the pore structure and membrane hydrostability itself in order to increase the strength of the membrane to filter out the salt content in salt marsh water. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of the banana silica-pectin membrane with a 4 layer membrane synthesis process (pectin concentration of 0.1% with calcination temperature of 300 oC and 400 oC with RTP (Rapid Thermal Processing) technique using pervaporation (PV) method and water artificial sea as feed water (NaCl 0.3 wt%) with room temperature (25 oC) .The results of the study were 0.1% pectin concentration with calcination temperature of 300 oC and 400 oC were respectively 5.45 and 13.70 Kgm-2h-1. Meanwhile, the rejection values of the two membranes were 91.94% and 92.08, respectively, so the best performance of the two pectin silica membranes was at calcination temperature of 400oC for saltwater deslination. Keywords: Desalination, pervaporation, salt water, silica-pectin membrane.
