Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the current conditions of saltwater intrusion in the Shabla - Krapets area, a long-known area of groundwater salinization. The main objectives of this investigation are (i) to find the interface (boundary) between fresh and salty (brackish) water and (ii) to study the seasonal dynamic of saltwater movement in the aquifer (intrusion). The results were obtained from July 2022 to the end of 2023. In the area of investigation (aquifer), there is a fresh groundwater layer which thins towards the sea. The interface between fresh and saltwater was found in 3 boreholes. The interface dynamics of seawater intrusion have been studied for one and a half years. The obtained results can be a reasonable basis for continuing and improving the monitoring of the seawater intrusion area and can be used as a base for groundwater modeling
