Abstract:
Coastal zones contain some of the most densely populated areas in the world as they generally
present the best conditions for productivity. However, these regions face many hydrological
problems like flooding due to cyclones and wave surge and drinking fresh water scarcity due
to salt water intrusion. This paper presents the simulation of sea water intrusion in Nauru
Island through Saturated-Unsaturated TRAnsport (SUTRA) model and examine the effect of
tidal forcing on the fresh water resources.
