In this study the saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers is briefly described and the prevention techniques are discussed. By using two computer models SWI and SHARP, the movement of freshwater and saltwater is analyzed on hypothetical cases and on one real aquifer in Marmaris in the coast of Mediterranean Region. Artificial recharge and subsurface barrier techniques are applied to hypothetical cases as means of controling the saltwater intrusion. The performance of strip recharge and subsurface barrier in reducing the salt water intrusion is analyzed by simulation of the groundwater flow with the codes mentioned above. The results obtained are compared with each other. The results of hypothetical cases are relatively in good agreement. For the real aquifer the results show discrepancy that cannot be ignored.

Analysis of techniques to limit saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Motz, Louis H. (2007-01-01)
In this study, saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers and prevention techniques were investigated using a new computer model, the Sea Water Intrusion (SWI) package (Bakker and Schaars, 2005), which simulates three-dimensional regional seawater intrusion in coastal multi-aquifer systems. Prevention methods consisting of injection wells, extraction wells, a combination of injection and extraction wells, and a subsurface barrier were evaluated as means of controlling saltwater intrusion by using SWI to simula...
Comparison of phosphorus reduction alternatives in control of nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat (Bursa, Turkey): Partial versus full sediment dredging
YENİLMEZ, Firdes; Aksoy, Ayşegül (2013-01-01)
In this study, Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) was used to simulate the impacts of various phosphorus (P) load reduction scenarios on nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat, a Ramsar site (a wetland of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention), including sediment dredging options and source reduction. The model was calibrated for various water constituents including ortho-phosphate (PO43-) and nitrate (NO3-). The calibrated model was used as a management tool to pred...
Application of the bentix index in assessing ecological quality of hard substrata: a case study from the Bosphorus Strait, Turkey
KALKAN, E.; KARHAN, S.U.; MUTLU, E.; SIMBOURA, N.; BEKOLET, M. (National Documentation Centre (EKT), 2007-6-1)
In this paper, a biotic index (Bentix) has been used for the assessment of ecological quality status of shallow water hard substrate benthic ecosystems affected by coastal sewage discharges in the Bosphorus Strait. A significant difference was observed between the control and the discharge stations with regard to Bentix values (Mann-Whitney U Test, p=0.002) and ecological quality status of the discharge stations was worse than that of controls. The index values revealed that sewage discharges caused ser...
Assessment of the effect of mineralogy on the geotechnical parameters of clayey soils: A case study for the Orta County, Çankırı, Turkey
Akgün, Haluk; Arslan Kelam, Arzu; Oner, Gokalp; Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem (2018-11-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate and relate the geotechnical parameters with the mineralogical properties of the Miocene and Plio-Quaternary (Pliocene to Quaternary) lacustrine and fluvial sediments, particularly clayey soils in the Orta County, cankiri. The study area is located about 110 km northeast of Ankara which is the capital city of the Republic of Turkey and Orta is a small county of cankiri. The study area is a structural depression in the northern part of the Orta plain which is filled...
Degradation of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) in microcosms mimicking sediment environment subjected to comparative bioremediation strategies
Demirtepe, Hale; İmamoğlu, İpek (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)
The aim of this study was to examine bioremediation strategies for BDE-209 contaminated sediments. Sediment microcosms were established to observe anaerobic debromination of BDE-209 under conditions representing three bioremediadon strategies: biostimulation, bioaugmentation and natural attenuation. To simulate biostimulation, a defined mineral medium containing both a carbon source (sodium formate) and electron donor (ethanol) was added into sediments. Bioaugmentation was established by enrichment of the s...
