Abstract
Groundwater is around one third of global water withdrawals and serve drinking water. Coast is a most sensorial and dynamic geomorphic unit where marine, Aeolian, and terrestrial system meet. Coast is a potential area for human dwell, around 70% of world population live along the coast, and this population is growing exponentially to support the increasing population growth and development requires a large quantity of freshwater. In several areas groundwater resource is a subject of worry in respect to both quantity and quality. Groundwater salinization is considered a specific category of pollution that portends groundwater resources, because mixing a small quantity of saltwater with groundwater makes freshwater unsuitable and can result in abandonment of freshwater supply. Pumping or over extraction is considered the key reason of saltwater intrusion into coastal groundwater aquifers in several areas of the world although climate change and global warming have significantly accelerated sea-level rise and groundwater recharge.
Saltwater intrusion poses a major restriction to utilization of groundwater so saltwater intrusion should be prevented or at least have to be controlled. It is essential to practical measures and protect the available groundwater resources from pollution, saltwater intrusion, and contaminants which deplete quality. The modern computer modelling techniques can be used to design better groundwater withdrawal networks and methods to reduce the probability of sea-water intrusion and contaminations.
