| ABSTRACT: | The intrusion of seawater into the coastal aquifer of Israel is monitored by a special network of observation boreholes. The observations include the logging of electrical resistance and temperature along the filter of each borehole twice a year, which is later interpreted in terms of salt content and electrical conductivity. The local profiles are further regionalized over equidistant strips perpendicular to the coastline to yield the profile of a hypothetical seawater-freshwater “interface” for each strip. The report presents the derived profiles of the interface in the major subaquifers in the fall season of 13 years of observation. Results regarding the rate and direction of movement of the interface, the width of the transition zone, the efficiency of the network and the accuracy of the of interpretation of the observations are also presented. |
