Freshwater Storage in Brackish Aquifers
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2013: Showcasing the Future
Abstract
In this paper, MODFLOW was used to investigate the long-term injection and recovery of freshwater in the brackish aquifer of Wadi Ham, United Arab Emirates. The simulations were conducted for six successive cycles of injection and recovery with constant recharge and recovery rates and also constant durations. The simulations were also performed for various rates of injection and recovery and the recovery efficiency of the system was evaluated. The recovery efficiency varied between 32% and 88% and increased significantly during the first three cycles and then slightly in the following runs. The effect of the injection and recovery rates and the duration of the recharge were also investigated.
