Tsunami and Groundwater Contamination

The goal of this monograph is to disseminate a fundamental understanding of the physical processes of saltwater contamination of shallow sandy aquifers due to an event like December 2004 tsunami or a storm surge event like Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005. The main objectives of this book are, 1. Describe the processes occurring in the unstable phenomena associated with tsunami contamination and its nature 2. Disseminate knowledge on parameters which influence saltwater plume migration, use of field experiments, physical experiments and computational modeling, 3. Provide guidelines for mitigation of such contamination and water use after such incident
