22 nd Salt Water Intrusion Meeting: Salt Water Intrusion in Aquifers: Challenges and PerspectivesAPPLICATION OF ELETROKINETIC BARRIER FOR SALINE WATERINTRUSION: AN APPROACH FOR COASTAL AQUIFER MANAGEMENTIN MACEIÓ-AL.LIMA, Jonathan Tenório de; GUEDES Jr.; J. C.; SOUZA, M. M.; BARBOSA, M. C.jonathantenorio88@gmail.comCOPPE/UFRJCidade Universitária da UFRJ Ilha do Fundão - Rio de Janeiro - RJ - BrasilCaixa Postal 68506 CEP 21945-970Abstract. The process of salt water intrusion in coastal aquifers of Maceió has been seen as aserious challenge to urban environmental management. In particular there is anoverexploitation of groundwater for public and private water supply. According to Nobre andNobre (2001) about 80% of water supply is conceived from groundwater. The local geology isconstituted by sandstone sediments varying from fine to medium sands intercalated by claylenses that originate the geological formations Barreiras, Maceió and Coqueiro Ceco. Eliset.al. (2004) verified an increasing evolution on salt concentrations in groundwater, includingsites located close to supply wells. The problem is worsened due to the number of irregularwells not registered on the environmental agency in disagreement with grant instrument ofNational Water Resources Policy already in force all over country. As a mitigation of theenvironmental impact it is proposed to apply electrokinetic barriers. Eletrokinesis occurs dueto the presence of an electric field what induce ions to migrate in the direction of theelectrode of opposite charge. Then cations move to anode and anions move to cathode. Ingeneral free positive charges exceed the number of negative charges on soil surface and thena resultant flow take place in the direction of anode. The method has been demonstrated to besatisfactory for containment of heavy metal plumes (Lynch, 2007) and it is believed that thesame can be successfully used for salt water wedge. The tool is underutilized in Brazil,however it can represent an advance for solving this kind of problem. Elis, V. R.; Barroso,C.M.R.; Kiang, C.H. (2004).
