| Abstract | SUTRA (Qaturated ~nsaturated Transport) i s a two-dimensional hybr id f init e-e l eme nt and int egrated finit e-d iff e r ence mod e l which can s imul ate fluid movement and the transport of dissolved s ubstances in a s ub s urf ace env ironme nt . The mod e l was first modi fi e d to a quasi-three-dimensional mod e l and then ap pli ed to s imulat e gro undwate r flow and c hl or ide movement in the multi aquif er system under lying the c i ty of Bangko k . In prev i ous st udi es only a s ing l e aq uif e r system has been cons id ered to s tudy the sa lt water movement. In this st ud y a ll the aq uif ers has been co ns id ered a nd the dynamic interaction between the aquifers has been cons id ered to st udy the sa ltwate r encroac hment in this compl ex multi aquif er system. The model has bee n ca librated with t he recent (1 990 ) observed data and s ubseq uently app li ed to predict the sa ltwater moveme nt under a set of pumping schemes. This s tud y confir ms t hat a quas i -t hree-d ime ns ion a l model i s no t ap propri ate to s imul ate the dynamic behavior of th e Bangkok multi -aquif er system. Also the initi a l c hl o rid e distribution cons i de rin g an updated mode l boundary a nd the interact i on between aq ui fers has been est imated. The possible sources of sa ltwater cont aminat i on for the aq ui fe r s Phra Pradaeng an d Nak hon Luang has also been i dentifi ed. |
