22 nd Salt Water Intrusion Meeting: Salt Water Intrusion in Aquifers: Challenges and PerspectivesCONCLUSIONSFresh water storage in saline aquifers seems feasible by means of the Storage Tank. The main characteristicof the Storage Tank is by using vertical subsurface impermeable barriers in a shallow saline aquifer thefresh water in stock is horizontally locked on top of the saline water below functioning as the tank’s variablebottom. The stored and recoverable volume of fresh water depends on the width and depth of the StorageTank, and on the characteristics of the aquifer. Our modeling results show that the recovery efficiencyincreases from 30% in the first cycle to more than 70% in the fifth cycle in the lab-scale configuration.Further research will include investigation of the effect of evaporation and well extraction and modelingwith real-case aquifer characteristics.LITERATUREGinkel, M. van, Olsthoorn, T.N., Smidt, E., Darwish, R., Rashwan, S., 2010.
