22 nd Salt Water Intrusion Meeting: Salt Water Intrusion in Aquifers: Challenges and PerspectivesHOW TO DETERMINE A ‘RELIABLE’ 3D FRESH-BRACKISH-SALINEDISTRIBUTION IN DATA-RICH COASTAL GROUNDWATER SYSTEMSOUDE ESSINK, G.; VAN BAAREN, E.; DE LOUW, P.; FANECA-SANCHEZ, M.Hgualbert.oudeessink@deltares.nlDELTARESPO Box 85467, 3508 AL Utrecht, The NetherlandsAbstract. In especially deltaic areas, groundwater systems often contain complex freshbrackish-salinedistributions. As groundwater flow is a slow phenomena, evenpaleohydrogeographical processes and anthropogenic activities of centuries ago still affectthe fresh-brackish-saline distribution in the system. The processes on different time scales,such as trans- and regressions during Holocene times, past sea level rise, differentiated landsubsidence, salt water wedges via surface water and excessive groundwater extractions areall affecting this distribution, and make it more diverse and complex. This fresh-brackishsalinedistribution is a important input in coastal groundwater studies to assess the impacts ofglobal (human) activities and climate change, but it is difficult to determine. The danger ofusing only one fresh-saline interface is considered, in fact: only one interface is rather poorin handling future fresh water demands. In this paper we discuss one specific procedure tocreate a reliable 3D fresh-brackish-saline distribution in a data-rich coastal groundwatersystem. The study area is in the Province of Zeeland, The Netherlands, which possesses anenormous amount of geophysical and hydrological data. It is a complex setting with quickpaleohydrogeographical changes which (partly) cause the rough salinity pattern. Numeroustypes of data, such as samples (since 1850), VES, Borehole data, CPT, EM31, TEC, etc arecombined with an estimated fresh-brackish interface. Samples will show trends of salinisationand freshening; unfortunately, the samples are more reliable than VES but often lesscommon. Ultimately, a numerical 3D variable density groundwater flow and coupled solutetransport model is used to significantly improve the 3D fresh-brackish-saline distribution, aswe believe a model is a good interpolator to create optimal distribution. Verification andcalibration with (other) geophysical data (o.a. Airborne HEM) will be shown to quantify thematch between field and model, and the capacity to predict trends in samples will bediscussed.Keywords: deltaic areas, procedure, 3D fresh-brackish-saline distribution, geophysics,modelling122
