Funded Activity Summary

Diffusion and transport of saltwater in coastal aquifers. Saltwater intrusion is a severe environmental problem in coastal regions of Australia, resulting in loss of agricultural land at an alarming rate. This project aims to develop a three-dimensional mathematical model for the simulation and prediction of saltwater intrusion into complex coastal aquifers based on recent advances in the theory of anomalous diffusion, stochastic modelling and numerical methods. The parameters of the model such as hydraulic conductivity and porosity will be estimated using multifractal techniques based on field data at the microscale. Once validated from measurements, the model will be used directly for resource management and planning.
