3d regional density-driven flow models of heterogeneous aquifer systems at the German North Sea Coast and the Antalya region in Turkey are set up within the joint project “Implementing strategic development goals in coastal aquifer management” (go-CAM, see Schöniger et al 2022). The development of the freshwater-saltwater interface is simulated for various climate and pumping scenarios up to 2100. Groundwater flow simulations are performed with the finite volume code d³f++ (distributed density-driven flow) that has been developed since 1995 with focussing on the modeling of large, complex, strongly density-influenced aquifer systems over long time periods.
