| Description | Ec-depth profiles that were taken in wells on semi-arid Caribbean island Curaçao reveal both fractured rock flow and the interaction between fresh meteoric and saline seawater. This thesis aims to characterize the hydrogeological processes in the island's subsurface through the analysis of repeated EC-depth profiles at various locations. Quantification of these processes could be achieved by application of model simulations. To identify seasonal variability, fieldwork to take EC-depth profiles in the dry season (May - September) may be necessary. |
