Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical issue of seawater intrusion, a phenomenon that threatens coastal freshwater resources. Set against the backdrop of a 1950s California water crisis, the author meticulously investigates the potential for creating a freshwater barrier to prevent saltwater encroachment. The book takes the reader into the heart of a real-world experiment at the Manhattan Beach well field, where Metropolitan Water District (MWD) water from the Colorado River is being injected into the Silverado aquifer. The author details the complex interplay of factors involved, including the chemical compatibility of different water sources, the presence of bacteria in the aquifer, and the potential impact of water treatment methods on the permeability of the formation. The bookââ â¢s focus on the dynamic nature of permeability and the potential for both its reduction and enhancement through a variety of treatments provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with freshwater barrier creation. The bookââ â¢s historical context reveals the urgency and innovative thinking surrounding water management in the mid-20th century, providing a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal era of water resource development. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
