2.4 Example: the Sea-mills of Argostoli, Kefalonia, Greece
The preceding model can also explain the workings of the sea-mills of
Argostoli. An on-site visit shows that: ΔH 2 = 2 m; ΔH 3 = -1.5 m. Solving the
equation with ρ 1 = 1,025; ρ 2 = 1 and with a salinity of 5 g . L -1 at Sami, or ρ 2 =
1,004 gives a mixing depth of 170 m and suggests an average piezometric
level for the island karst of ΔH 2 of 3 m (Figure 40).
