A study of saline freshwater interface phenomena in the Mahanadi delta region (Orissa)
Posted on 10 Jul, 2010 10:40 PMThe subsurface aquifer systems in Mahanadi delta region in Orissa (India) is largely characterized by two groups of freshwater aquifer systems, both of which are prone to saline water mixing/migration with time and development:
- The south western Mahanadi delta region is represented by unconfined to semi-confined freshwater aquifers underlained by brackish/saline aquifer systems with a diffusion boundary.
- The north eastern parts of Mahanadi delta is represented by deep freshwater confined aquifers overlained by brackish/saline water aquifers with aquitard/ aquiclude boundary.

Skimming well technology for saline groundwater management
Posted on 23 Jun, 2010 12:49 PMThe term skimming well is used for any technique employed with an intention to extract relatively freshwater from the upper zone of the fresh-saline aquifer. The types of skimming wells include: the conventional single strainer well, multi-strainers wells, scavenger wells, radial collector wells and dug wells.
