Saline water intrusion is a global threat to coastal aquifers that leads freshwater ecosystems to be contaminated due to excessive groundwater pumping (Badaruddin et al. 2015). This excess pumping of groundwater near coastal aquifers reduces the hydraulic head of inland groundwater that allows the saltwater to enter into inland aquifers, which leads to aquifer salinization. In fact, it is not only the cause, but it is also affected by global warming, which increases the opportunity for the intrusion of saltwater into coastal aquifers (Figure 3.3).
