Coastal regions comprising of alluvial deposit are generally rich in groundwater. However fresh groundwater flowing from the mainland towards the sea and saline groundwater tending to flow from the sea towards the mainland form a fresh water – saline water interface within the underlying formations. The interface is dynamic and remains delicately balanced under the hydrostatic pressure being exerted from both the sides. For this reason, if fresh water is pumped out in large quantity from a coastal aquifer, the fresh water – saline water interface moves inland and saline water tends to encroach upon the space occupied earlier by fresh water. This causes wells that were formerly yielding fresh water to start yielding saline water. Once a part of the fresh water aquifer is contaminated by saline water, it is rather difficult to reverse the situation. read less
