Abstract

Aquifers are dug very deep in many areas. When they are near the sea or an island the sea water tends to seep to the aquifers. This ultimately leads the aquifers to be salty and hence they don’t achieve the objective of providing fresh water to the community. This study was conducted in 2020 with a name of coming up with preventive measures of the sea water seepage to the aquifers. This paper is only a review paper of how far the impact can be felt as the data is being analyzed.
