A total of 10 groundwater samples were obtained from groundwater wells with depths of around 8-10 meters distributed around Yogyakarta International Airport, Indonesia to test the geochemical of groundwater for assessing the seawater intrusion. Samples were taken into polyethylene bottles with a volume of 1000 ml. These bottles were rinsed to reduce the risk of any contamination prior to their filing with sampled water. Piper Diagram is used to evaluate seawater intrusion by plotting the percentages of cations and anions (in mEq/L) as a single point on the triangle. The groundwater facies' in the study area are CaHCO3 and CaNaHCO3. It suggests that the origins of the elements Ca and Na were estimated to derive from the dissolution of the plagioclase, hornblende, and pyroxene minerals found in the sand sediment, while the elements of HCO3 were estimated from the dissolution of carbonate minerals or the decomposition of organic matter and root respiration in the soil zone may enrich their concentration. The wells affected by slightly freshening were ZAM-04, ZAM-05, ZAM-06, ZAM-08, and ZAM-10. While the wells that are not affected by the intrusion or fresh were ZAM-01, ZAM-03, ZAM-07, and ZAM-09. However, ZAM-02 well which is close to the coastline and the closest to the airport development area was the only well that affected significantly by freshening, comparing with other wells. Another expected controlling factor was the fault in the northern part which continuously leads that location. By supported a flow pattern or large river, it was concluded the alluvial deposits buried the fault, and it was estimated to continue to that location.

Abstract Gapura is a sub-district with a large salt pond in Sumenep Regency, Madura Island, Indonesia. In this area, many residents’ houses have drilled wells to meet their water needs. One factor is that Municipal Waterwork (PDAM) does not reach the area due to limited water sources and difficult accessibility. Residents in the area claimed to have found some groundwater that tasted brackish. This study aims to apply hydrochemical analysis to identify the possibility of seawater intrusion in the area. The assessment of seawater intrusion uses the total dissolved solids (TDS) value and major ion of groundwater samples. In the analysis of thirty samples, two samples have different values from the samples of freshwater. However, the value of these two samples is relatively low to be classified as seawater intrusion. It is described on the TDS values that belong to the class of brackish water, from Simpson ratio values classified as slightly contaminated, and from the piper diagram plot that is still in the mixing zone in the middle of the diagram. The presence of brackish water in these samples can be caused by a location close to salt pond activities.

The effect of seawater on the groundwater in archipelago of South Korea where it has rarely been investigated was analyzed by examining the hydrogeochemical characteristics. A total of 74 groundwater samples were classified by water quality type and Cl−/HCO3− molar ratio. First, 36 samples of the Ca–Cl type and 32 samples of the Na–Cl type (accounting for 91.9% of the total) were considered to have been influenced by seawater. When the samples had been classified based on the Cl−/HCO3− molar ratio, the samples with a Cl−/HCO3− molar ratio of 2.8 or higher (indicating that seawater had highly influenced the groundwater) accounted for 40 out of 74 samples. This confirms that the groundwater in the study area had been affected by seawater. When quantitatively determining the influence of seawater on the groundwater, the seawater mixing ratios using either Cl or Br ion were found to be almost the same. In the case of Cl ion, the mixing ratio was in the range of 0–10.4% (average of 1.0%), while when using Br ion, the mixing ratio was in the range of 0–7.6% (average of 0.6%). From a principal component analysis, it can be seen that the influence of seawater occupied the first component of 54.1% and it is evident that the samples with a large mixing ratio of seawater were from regions where seawater has a large influence. The ion-exchange reaction was proceeded by calculating the ionic delta value to indicate the seawater intrusion and cation exchange, and specific trends of the ions participating in the geochemical reaction related to the seawater mixing ratio are reported herein. It was found that the ionic delta value of each ion had a mixing ratio and specific tendency according to the change in mixing ratio before the constant value of the seawater mixing ratio saturated with Na2+. Our results show that it can be possible to grasp the contribution of the geochemical reactions of each ion to the seawater mixing ratio.

Coastal groundwater is extremely vulnerable to saltwater contamination. This study was conducted to investigate the potential contamination of saltwater into coastal groundwater temporally. Data was obtained from PT000017 monitoring well from 2006 to 2012. Nine parameters of water quality were involved for data analyses. Two main diagrams used for data analyses are piper diagram and hydrochemical facies evolution diagram (HFE-D). All parameters were plotted to produce a piper diagram that determine the water type between different seasons. During wet season, groundwater samples are located in domain III that represent mixed Ca-Na-HCO3 water type; 2007 groundwater sample was located in domain I, represent Ca-HCO3 water type and during 2008 groundwater sample was located in domain II, represent Na-Cl water type. During dry season, groundwater samples are located in domain II that represent mixed Ca-Na-HCO3 water type meanwhile, 2009 and 2011 groundwater samples are located in domain I, represent Ca-HCO3 water type. Subsequently, HFE-D diagram was produced to determine the evolution process of salinization or freshening of coastal groundwater. In this study, all of groundwater samples were in freshening stage except during dry season 2007 groundwater sample was in the phase of saltwater intrusion.

In the present study, the groundwater quality for suitability in agriculture from Udham Singh Nagar district, Uttarakhand, has been evaluated. A total of 50 groundwater samples have been collected and analysed for pH, EC, TH, HCO3−, CO32−, Cl−, SO42−, NO3–, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and K+. To assess the groundwater quality for irrigation purpose, parameters like sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), magnesium hazards (MHs), permeability index (PI), and chloroalkaline index (CAI) values have been calculated. In USSL diagram, most of the groundwater samples fall in the C2S1 category and were safe for irrigation purpose. Only seven groundwater samples fall in the C3S1 category, indicating medium to high salinity which is safe for irrigation purpose for all types of soils but with limited care of exchangeable sodium. On the basis of RSC, all groundwater samples were observed to be suitable for irrigation purpose. Piper diagram indicated that 50% of the groundwater samples belonged to the Mg2+-Ca2+-HCO3− type and 48% was classified as the Ca2+-Mg2+-Cl− type. Durov diagram suggested possibilities of ion mixing and simple dissolution of ions from polluted soil.

This paper presents the results of a groundwater quality assessment carried out in the karst coastal region of the West Aurunci Mountains (Central Italy). 55 spring and 18 well water samples, collected from 2016 to 2018, were analysed to study the main processes controlling the hydrogeochemical evolution and groundwater quality properties. In the study area, groundwater samples are mostly characterized by a Ca-HCO3 facies, indicating that the groundwater hydrogeochemical evolution is mainly controlled by the carbonate mineral dissolution/precipitation. The cationic and anionic concentrations confirm that groundwater samples belong to the order of Ca2+>Mg2+>Na+>K+ and HCO3−>Cl−>SO42−, respectively. Well water samples show, over time, an increasing mineralization with respect to the spring water samples. In more detail, the enrichment of Ca2+, Na+, and Cl- in well water samples is mainly due to the dissolution of calcite, dolomite, and halite minerals and secondly to a probable ion exchange related to seawater intrusion. Seawater intrusion, probably affecting the chemical composition of well water samples, was studied using ionic ratios, graphical approaches, and specific indices, such as the BEX index. Results suggest that carbonate weathering, ion exchange, and seawater intrusion in this karst coastal region are the major factors controlling groundwater geochemistry. This study shows that groundwater quality assessment, based on hydrogeochemical investigation techniques, has been a useful tool to characterize and model carbonate aquifers in Central Italy, with the aim of achieving proper management and protection of these important water resources.

ABSTRACTThe availability of clean water is one of the main problems for the people in Kendari City. Overutilization of groundwater can cause seawater intrusion to groundwater. This study aims to identify and map seawater intrusion distribution to shallow groundwater based on water quality data. Sampling was obtained from 100 dug wells of the inhabitant (n=100) in March-July 2019 with a variation of the distance from the beach 0.04-5.52 km and the elevation of Groundwater (MAT) between 0.43-30.01 MASL. The distribution of shallow groundwater is mapped on the criteria to the value of Electrical Conductivity (DHL) at the standard temperature of 25 °C. The analysis showed that the average groundwater temperature was 29.28 °C, DHL was 393.52 µmhos, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) was 196.98 ppm, and pH was 6.31. Shallow groundwater, which has been varied intruded with high intruded (26.26%), rather high intruded (14.14%), medium intruded (32.32%), low intruded (6.06%) and not intruded (21.21%). The correlation between distance from the coast to the value of DHL was not significantly correlated (R2 = -0.49), while groundwater level elevation has a significant correlation (R2 = 0.71). The geological factors of alluvial deposits, which generally have low permeability and slope to flat topography, cause seawater intrusion to shallow groundwater.Keywords: sea water intrusion, shallow groundwater, Kendari City ABSTRAKKetersediaan air bersih merupakan salah satu masalah utama bagi masyarakat kota Kendari.

<p>The Korean peninsula has three sides facing the sea, and many monitoring wells for seawater intrusion observation installed along these coasts. The electrical conductivity (EC) profiles of these monitoring wells are found to vary greatly depending on the hydrogeological characteristics of the coast. The research area is located in Seocheon, Chungnam, where two wells are about 1.5 km away, one borehole is freshwater and the other boreholes have high electrical conductivity. In the well where the high electrical conductivity is measured, the electrical conductivity increases rapidly at a depth of about 90m. The well is located about 50 meters from the coast, and the change in water level reflects tidal changes well. We conducted a variety of field surveys and laboratory tests to clarify whether seawater intrusion occurred in the freshwater-saltwater boundary at the depth of about 90 m and whether the freshwater-saltwater boundary was affected by tides. Applied methods are electrical resistivity survey, geophysical well logging and geochemistry. The geophysical survey line was located along the coast centered on the well and measured every six hours. As a result of the survey, it was difficult to identify the change of electrical resistivity due to tidal changes in the lower alluvial zone, that is, the rock formation. These result indicates that the permeable fracture zones are rarely distributed in the rock below the survey line, so the change of the formation resistivity of according to the tidal change is very small. Geophysical well logs such as optical televiewer, spectral gamma log, and water quality logs (i.e., temperature, EC, pH, DO, and ORP) were measured, and groundwater samples were collected according to depth and analyzed for T, EC, pH, DO, ORP, and 222Rn. We found it difficult to identify permeability fracture zones in the temperature gradient and optical televiewer logs. The electrical conductivity is generally around 4,000 uS/cm and increase rapidly from about 90m to 48,000 uS/cm. The water quality logs and the analysis of groundwater samples showed pH range of about 7 to 7.5, DO of 7 to 14 mg/L, and OPR of -80 to 180 mV. pH does not change with depth, DO decreases slightly, and ORP decreases rapidly around the fresh-saltwater interface. The analysis of 222Rn shows that, to the median depth of the borehole, it is similar to the intensity of natural gamma rays and decreases rapidly across the lower freshwater-saltwater interface. Finally, we measured the electrical conductivity logs repeatedly at the interval of 30 minutes in the lower borehole where the freshwater-saltwater boundary was formed, and identified that the profiles of electrical conductivity change with tides.</p>

The Metaponto coastal plain extends about 40 km along the Ionian coast, between the Sinni and Bradano Rivers (southern Italy). During the 20th century, the increases in modern irrigation systems, land reclamation works, the overexploitation of wells, and agricultural and industrial activities have deeply modified land use and groundwater availability and quality along the plain. These modifications negatively impacted the natural systems in terms of groundwater and soil salinization, magnifying the risks due to seawater intrusion. In this study, we explored the proneness to seawater intrusion, testing a multidisciplinary approach based on hydrochemical and geophysical investigations. A significant portion of the coastal plain was selected for this purpose. A set of 49 groundwater samples was analyzed to define the chemical characteristics of the water and geoelectrical measurements were recorded along three long profiles. The geoelectrical surveys showed in detail the aquifer bottom pattern where it is deeply incised by paleovalleys, defining the main hydrostratigraphic features, as it is necessary to prevent seawater intrusion worsening. The hydrochemical data highlighted areas with higher seawater intrusion proneness. The acquired measurements show the high proneness to seawater intrusion, especially where the aquifer bottom is very deep below the sea level, also far from the coast, and the relevance of the detailed knowledge of the aquifer bottom in supporting any kind of management.

Sukajaya Lempasing is one of the villages located in Teluk Pandan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. Sukajaya Lempasing Village was chosen as a place for research because of its position on the east coast which is directly adjacent to Lampung Bay, of which its groundwater is suspected to be contaminated by seawater, causing the water to be brackish. Field observation, data collection, as well as lithology and air control are needed to see the geological and hydrogeological conditions of this area. Based on the physical and chemical parameters, the well of Hamlet 7 has groundwater and there is no indication of sea water intrusion because the area is very close to hills which may become a catchment area so that groundwater flows out to sea with high pressure. Based on the salinity, TDS, and conductivity values ​​obtained, the well that experienced seawater intrusion was the AJR3 well because it is located closest to the coastline and is supported by an alluvial sediment aquifer that has moderate to high aquifer productivity. The quality of water based on physical parameter data from wells in Hamlet 1, Hamlet 7 and sample AJR4 Hamlet 3 is classified as clean and suitable for daily use. The lithology in the form of alluvial deposits allows seawater intrusion, especially in areas close to the shoreline such as the AJR3 well.
