Joint Assessment of the Behavior of Nitrate and Saltwater Intrusion Within Negative Hydraulic Barrier Setups by Shaobo Gao, Tianyuan Zheng, Jian Luo, Xilai Zheng, Yunhai Fang, Marc Walther

“…Additionally, LH‐type aquifers, characterized by a low hydraulic conductivity (K) layer at the top, exacerbated nitrate retention and denitrification, while HL‐type aquifers, with a low K layer at the bottom, promoted horizontal diffusion and improved SGD. Furthermore, NHBs consistently intensified nitrate removal across different seawater boundary conditions. …”
