Mechanism of salinization of shallow groundwater in Phra Yune area, Northeast Thailand

Country
Thailand

Description

[Synopsis]

Studies on hydrogeological structure and groundwater monitoring data from 16 investigation well stations in Phra Yuen area, Northeast Thailand showed that salinegroundwater from rock salt strata is supplied from G1 and F1 faults that the conductivity value of groundwater at A5 increased rapidly when the groundwater level decreased below 187.4 meters above sea level (Dead Level). When the groundwater level decrease below based on the groundwater potential head distribution figure. Salinegroundwater may rise from the underground through the fault cracks.
