Abstract

The subterranean mixing in permeable media of sea water and ground water is studied. The model for this mixing process which was suggested by C. K. Wentworth is adopted, but is soon discarded in favour of a more tractable formulation whose equivalence to the original model is established. The analysis is carried to the point where the determination of the salinity distribution of the ground water in a given subsoil requires only the solution of an elementary linear ordinary differential equation.
