    Abstract
  • Objective

    To investigate the salinization of groundwater impacted by Late Pleistocene/Holocene transgression, current seawater intrusion, and evaporation, and to comprehend the consequences of marine transgression events and seawater intrusion due to groundwater over-exploitation on groundwater salinization, two shallow aquifers were chosen for research in the Cangzhou area.

    Methods

    Using the SEAWAT software, a paleo-hydrogeological model was developed to simulate the evolution of groundwater salinity since the Holocene, relying on a series of paleo-environmental evolution data.

    Results

    The results suggest that the distribution of shallow groundwater salinity is impacted by the Holocene transgression/regression. A traditional fingering process of saline water infiltration in shallow areas was discovered at an average rate of 23 mm/a, resulting from transgression events. Despite the low-permeability aquitards, saline infiltration persists over extended periods, reaching depths of up to 140～160 m B.S.L.

    Conclusion

    Trapped marine water from the Late Pleistocene and Holocene transgression events remains present and has not been flushed out. The salt transport in the coastal aquifer-aquitard system has yet to reach an equilibrium state, potentially affecting the groundwater quality of deep confined aquifers.
