AbstractMean groundwater levels of a multi-layered coastal leaky aquifer system are considered. The system consists of an unconfined aquifer, a confined aquifer and a semi-permeable layer between them. Both exact asymptotic solutions and approximate perturbation solutions are derived for multi-sinusoidal-component sea tide. At inland places far from the coastline, the perturbation solutions show a good agreement with the exact asymptotic solutions. Due to the watertable-dependent transmissivity of the unconfined aquifer, the mean groundwater levels of the aquifer system stand considerably above the mean sea level even in the absence of net inland recharge of groundwater and rainfall. These lead to landward positive gradients of both the mean watertable and mean head in the region near the coastline, which consequently results in a seawater-groundwater cycle. Seawater is pumped into the unconfined aquifer by the sea tide and divided into two parts. One part returns to the sea driven by the mean watertable gradient. The rest part leaks into the confined aquifer through the semipermeable layer, and returns to the sea through the confined aquifer driven by the mean head gradient. The total discharge through the confined aquifer is significant for coastal leaky aquifer system with typical parameter values. This seawater-groundwater cycle has impacts on better understanding of submarine groundwater discharge and exchange of various chemicals such as nutrients and contaminants in coastal areas. If the observed mean water levels in coastal areas are used for estimating the net inland recharge, the enhancing processes of sea tide on the mean groundwater levels should be taken into account. Otherwise, the net inland recharge will be overestimated. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
