Abstract

Long standing saline intrusion and connate saline groundwater problems are being studied in the Permo Triassic aquifers of North West England. This multidisciplinary study is being carried out to provide data for the evaluation of aquifer management options for the protection of valuable water resources. Major and minor ion chemistry determined from pore waters depth samples and pumped discharges are being examined in conjunction with isotope data. Geophysical logging and deep penetration surface resistivity techniques are helping to delineate saline water bodies. Packer tests down to depths of 400 metres are providing information on aquifer properties and saline water movement.
