| ABSTRACT: | The basin is viewed as a system of two interconnected aquifers: an upper and a lower one. The report proposes a conceptual model which describes the flow regime as well as the sources, outlets and processes which govern the salinity of groundwater in the various parts of the basin. The validity of the model is tested on the basis of available historic data pertinent to the water balance and the mass balance of chlorides. Basinwide estimates of the components of these balances are also given for both undisturbed steady state conditions, which prevailed in the basin prior to the development of intensive pumpage, and for a later period of transient state conditions. A computer code of a two-layer numerical model in the vertical plane is used to produce forecasts of anticipated changes in Cl concentration as a function of changes in the spatial pattern of pumpage. |
