Abstract
Saltwater intrusion affects water quality in coastal water supply wells, increasing salinity in drinking water and thereby negatively impacting communities. Hooper Bay, AK is a community in west Alaska that has experienced relatively high salinity water in their water supply wells. Injection wells are evaluated here in an effort to provide a possible solution to further saltwater intrusion in Hooper Bay wells. Analytical modeling is utilized to perform the investigation. Steady-State 2D horizontal models provide potential placement, spacing, and pumping rates for the proposed injection wells.
