Saline Intrusion Model in the Sinaloa River Aquifer, Mexico | Chapter 8 | Novel Perspectives of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 4

 The risk of a seaside aquifer expected contaminated by salty intrusion is increased significantly by the effect of determinants such as a to a certain extent-arid temperature and agriculture sustained for the most part by irrigation accompanying groundwater. Water samples were taken from wells in the city of Guasave, Sinaloa, in order to decide the salinity of groundwater within the coastal portion of the Sinaloa River fountain. Precisely, we aimed to decide the concentrations of the major present ions, that would allow hydrogeochemical studies to be completed activity, and thus determine the value of the liquid.The results of these samples show that there are extreme concentrations of salinity in the water only in some wells forthcoming the coastline. The water bulk was used to simulate the wedge of water containing salt intrusion into the fountain, using a numerical model (Glover and Ghyben - Herzberg Model). The information create in the modeling shows that the intrusion chunk comes into contact with the level of water at a depth place there are no wells now drilled in the study field, on the other hand, the horizontal distance of the chunk reaches three kilometers.
