Fluid Dynamics of a Stressed Freshwater Lens: Integrated Flow Modeling and Pathways for Material-Centric Interventions in Khadir Island, GujaratBy Sagar Vinodray Nimavat, Mahendrasinh Shivraj Gadhavi
Abstract: This study applies principles of fluid dynamics and porous media mechanics to analyze the behavior and sustainability of the freshwater lens in Khadir Island, an arid sedimentary island in Gujarat, India. We develop an integrated fluid flow model that couples surface hydrology with aquifer dynamics to quantify recharge fluxes, extraction stresses, and hydraulic responses. Using 11-year hydro-meteorological data (2011–2021) and sectoral demand projections, we characterize the island’s water budget through …
