Abstract

Runoff loss to the sea and seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers represents a dual hydrologic phenomenon in many coastal regions, and the coastal zone of Lebanon is a typical example. In this respect, an integrated management approach must be adopted to mitigate the impact of this geo-environmental problem through surface water harvesting and recharging (SWHR) into the beneath rock formations. However, positioning suitable sites, for surface water harvesting, from which water can be artificially/spontaneously recharged, is often a challenging. This study handles this challenge with innovative multi factor method using GIS to identify the optimal sites for SWHR. For this purpose, thematic maps were analyzed and systematically integrated, while data retrieved was mainly from satellite images (e.g., Sentinel-2, SRTM, etc.). The obtained geospatial data represent main factors controlling surface water flow regime, infiltration potential and other relevant environmental factors. Being converted to GIS digital files with various levels of impact “weight coefficients” on SWHR, these factors were systematically manipulated; and thus 28 sites were identified and hydrologically characterized and 13 of them were emphasized as primary ones. The produced SWHR sites' map serves decision-makers to take proper actions for water management in coastal zones whether in the investment of surface water or the mitigation of seawater intrusion.

基于gis的集水区多因素分析与含水层补给管理
径流流失入海和海水侵入沿海含水层是许多沿海地区的双重水文现象,黎巴嫩沿海地区就是一个典型的例子。在这方面,必须采取综合管理方法,通过地表水收集和再注(SWHR)到岩层下面来减轻这一地质环境问题的影响。然而,为地表水收集找到合适的地点,使水可以人工/自发地重新补给,往往是一项挑战。本研究采用创新的多因素方法,利用地理信息系统(GIS)来确定SWHR的最佳选址。为此目的,对专题地图进行了分析和系统整合,而检索的数据主要来自卫星图像(例如Sentinel-2、SRTM等)。获得的地理空间数据代表了控制地表水流态、入渗势和其他相关环境因素的主要因素。将这些因素转换为具有不同程度影响SWHR“权重系数”的GIS数字文件,系统地操纵这些因素;对28个地点进行了鉴定和水文特征分析,其中13个为主要地点。制作的海水保护区地图为决策者提供了适当的行动,以管理沿海地区的水,无论是投资地表水还是减少海水入侵。
