A density-dependant finite element model for analysis of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers
Seawater intrusion is a serious problem threatening groundwater resources in coastal regions throughout the world. It affects 70% of the world's population who live in coastal regions. This is pioneering work in the field of control of seawater intrusion considering the effects of climate change and sea level rise. It presents a new cost-effective method for control of seawater intrusion and optimizes the arrangements for the proposed method. This work has been reported in "Water Link International" Newsletter: http://www.environmental-expert.com/articles/page-1/?keyword=javadi . This work has become the basis for a number of multi-national projects, led by Exeter, with several universities and companies in Middle East and UK (e.g., Prof. Sherif in UAE, Prof. Kacimov in Oman, Dr Jarman in Hydro International Plc, UK). The work was also published as an invited paper in a scientific magazine "Barcelona Metropolis" in Spain.
