Wave overwash events (such as storm surge and tsunamis) have the potential to result in severe consequences to the freshwater resources of small islands as a result of salt contamination of the aquifer. This study used numerical modelling to evaluate the freshwater lens response and recovery to overwash events for various island hydrogeological settings - or island types - that are observed worldwide
