Abstract:
The intrusion of saltwater into the aquifers along the coastal area is becoming one of the
major concerns surrounding the globe . The groundwater development along the coast results
in induced flow of saline water into the aquifers of freshwater and thereby resulting in
intrusion. The coastal people depend on groundwater for their daily needs, agricultural and
industrial purposes thereby pumping of more water from ground increases the rate of
intrusion.
This groundwater intrusion is creating health hazards and causing many deficiencies and
diseases in humans. The groundwater available in such areas can’t be utilized directly and
needs some short or big treatment. Through this study we will be able to find out the
purification measures to be taken to make water potable for humans.
