Intrusion of seawater into coastal aquifers is considered one of the most important processes that degrade water-quality by raising the salinity to levels exceeding acceptable drinking standards. Therefore saltwater intrusion should be prevented or at least controlled to protect groundwater...

A simplification for the variable sorptivity infiltration equation of Poulovassilis et al. (1989) is proposed. The resulting equation has three parameters S <Subscript>x</Subscript>, c and K <Subscript>0</Subscript>. From these, S <Subscript>x</Subscript> and c are considered as fitting parameters and K <Subscript>0</Subscript> as a physical one. The new empirical infiltration equation...</subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript>
