When dealing with exploitation, restoration and management of fresh groundwater in coastal aquifers the key issue is saltwater intrusion.
Coastal aquifer serves as major sources for freshwater supply in many countries around the world and many coastal areas are also heavily urbanized, a fact that makes the need for freshwater even more acute. Coastal aquifers are highly sensitive to disturbance and inappropriate management may lead to its destruction as a source for freshwater much earlier than other aquifers which are not connected to the sea.
