Abstract

Coastal areas in arid and semiarid lands face additional groundwater management challenges from salinization compared to more inland areas. Saline–water intrusion, in particular, is a major threat to coastal aquifers. Saline–water intrusion occurs in areas where the rate of groundwater extraction significantly exceeds the rate recharge. Over extraction disturbs that natural water balance and induces migration of saline-water into parts of aquifers that naturally contain fresh groundwater
