| TITLE: | Development and application of a three dimensional flow and salinity simulation model in the north of the Yarkon-Taninim groundwater basin |
|---|---|
| PROBLEM: | The northwestern edge of the Yarkon-Taninim basin is an area where fresh groundwater comes into contact with saline water. The Taninim springs serve as an outlet for a mixture of these waters. There is uncertainty about the source of the saline water and about the mechanism of its movement which may pose a threat to the quality of water pumped from wells in the northern part of the basin. |
| OBJECTIVES: | Construction and calibration of a mathematical model which will enable to estimate the relationship between groundwater levels at control points and the risk of salinization of well fields in the north of the Yarkon-Taninim Basin. |
| APPROACH: | Setting up of a three dimensional model which fits the structural and stratigraphic features of the basin in the study area and the technical features of the well field, and takes into account the density differences of the two water sources. The model will be calibrated and validated on the basis of historic data. It will then be used to predict the effects of various climatic regimes and pumping patterns on the pumped water quality. |
