Study on assessing the impact of evaporation on the natural recharge in the Holocene aquifer of sand dunes in Ben Tre province, Vietnam

Abstract

On the surface of the terrain in Ben Tre province, sand dunes exist in the form of thin strips running parallel and facing the coastline, with a total distributed area of about 12,179 hectares. These sand dunes vary in size, with widths ranging from 100 to 620 meters and lengths from 1,200 to 7,200 m. The predominant geological component in these sand dunes is fine-grained sand with large pore sizes. The vegetation cover on these sand dunes is sparse, with numerous hours of sunlight throughout the year...
