Sloping coastal aquifers are widely distributed in nature. In this study, improved analytical solutions for describing the saltwater-freshwater interface and the location of toe of saltwater wedge for seawater intrusion in sloping unconfined aquifers are obtained based on the new Dupuit-Forchheimer approximation that takes into account the vertical velocity “Modified” better reflects the alteration of the method, and “accounts for” is more concise than “takes into account”. It is found that the location of saltwater-freshwater interface under constant-flux boundary is related to the tilt angle of aquifer bottom plate, and the tilt angle of the aquifer bottom inhibits intrusion degree of seawater intrusion in aquifers. The improved analytical method considering the vertical velocity is more accurate and closer to the experimental results. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of improved analytical method are lower than those of traditional analytical method by 0.323 cm and 0.133 cm. The saltwater–freshwater interface predicted by the improved method fits better with experimental observations, and the lengths of the saltwater wedges are more comparable. Therefore, the vertical velocity cannot be neglected. The analytical solution obtained in this study provides a scientific basis for predicting seawater intrusion in sloping coastal aquifers and for effective groundwater management.
