Diffusion of Salinity from Sand-bed to Surface Water

It is an important problem to estimate the changing process of water quality in reservoir constructed at river mouth. To predict the mass transfer of salinity from pore-water in sand-bed to surface water, authors measured experimentally the variation of salinity distribution in sand-bed and surface water. In order to measure the concentration of pore-water in sand, the probe are made for its purpose shown in Fig. 4. Two kinds of experiments are done, one is for the static surface water
