    Abstract
  • Objective

    To investigate the groundwater salinization process influenced by the combined effects of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene transgression, modern seawater intrusion, and evaporation, two shallow aquifer groups were selected as the research objects in the Cangzhou area.

    Methods

    Based on a series of paleo-environmental evolution data, a two-dimensional palaeo hydrogeological model was established using SEAWAT software to simulate the evolution process of groundwater salinity since the Holocene.

    Results

    The results suggest that the current distribution of shallow groundwater salinity is impacted by the Holocene transgression/regression. The palaeo seawater infiltrated downward in a finger-like pattern, with an average infiltration rate 23 mm/a. The brine formed by the palaeo transgressions has infiltrated to depths of −140 m to −160 m B.S.L. The palaeo seawater captured and stored during the Late Pleistocene transgression and Holocene transgression events still remains in the aquifer and has not been completely desalinated. The salt transport process in coastal groundwater has yet to reach equilibrium. The palaeo-saltwater formed by ancient transgressions continues to seep downward at a low rate, and the groundwater salinization process is ongoing, which may lead to further deterioration of water quality in deeper aquifers.

    Conclusion

    The research results can provide a reference for water resources management in coastal areas.
