Abstract
The basic elements of groundwater quality monitoring programs in general, and saltwater intrusion control in particular, involve the definition of monitoring policy and objectives. The implementation of these objectives include design of facilities and instruments, field surveys, sample collection, data analysis, evaluation of the information, characterization of possible scenarios of saltwater intrusion and operational decisions. The strategy of designing a monitoring program depends mainly upon the natural and political-administrative boundaries of the area of concern, the quantity and quality of existing records regarding aquifer geology, the groundwater regime, other sources and types of contaminants, and available financial resources [WMO, 1988; Melloul and Goldenberg, 1994].
