Saltwater Intrusion

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Saltwater intrusion is the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers. Most often, it is caused by ground-water pumping from coastal wells, or from construction of navigation channels or oil field canals. The channels and canals provide conduits for salt water to be brought into fresh water marshes. But salt water intrusion can also occur as the result of a natural process like a storm surge from a hurricane. Saltwater intrusion occurs in virtually all coastal aquifers, where they are in hydraulic continuity with seawater.
