Abstract

The seawater intrusion of the Gou River, China and the impact of Houshan Reservoir are studied using numerical simulations. The results show that the natural seawater intrusion length is 1.66km for Gou River estuary, and once the Houshan reservoir is constructed the intrusion length increases to 1.98km, which is 0.32km longer than the natural condition. At present, the highest salinity at the estuary is around 18‰, and recovers to fresh water environment in 3.0km. After the construction of the reservoir, the salinity value increase to 20‰ at the estuary. To around 2.0km from the estuary, the salinity recovers to the natural condition.
