Abstract
Water with increased salt contents can often be found in the subsurface. The salt may stem from the dissolution of salt formations, such as bedded salt or salt-domes (see chapter 13). There may be ‘fossil’ fluids, leftovers from former geological time-periods, when parts of the today’s continental surface was at the bottom of the sea. In coastal areas, saltwater from the sea penetrates into the aquifers (see chapter 11).
