Hazard Evaluation for Seawater Intrusion in the South of Laizhou Bay

Abstract:

Laizhou Bay is the most typical and serious region suffering from the geo-hazard of the seawater intrusion in China. The information value model and GIS are used for the hazard assessment study of seawater intrusion disaster in the Laizhou Bay. The assessment indexes are conceived through choosing the factors such as mineralization, groundwater level, geological condition, intensity of human activities and offshore distance . ArcGIS software is applied involving in data collection, data management, data analysis and evaluation process expressing. Finally, the hazard assessment about seawater intrusion disaster is classed into high, medium and low. The result shows that the boundary between the more dangerous and less dangerous zone is the line of Shouguang-Hanting-Changyi. The high-risk area is accounted for more than 46% of the evaluation area. The saltwater under the south of Laizhou plain is main source of the seawater intrusion disaster, and pumping the underground freshwater and saline groundwater is the induced conditions of the seawater intrusion disaster.
