[0002] Seawater intrusion is a process and phenomenon of water bodies entering a coastal aquifer due to changes in groundwater dynamics, causing seawater to migrate towards a freshwater aquifer on land. In many coastal areas surrounded by sea on three sides, the hydrodynamic balance between seawater and freshwater groundwater has been disrupted due to factors such as over-extraction of groundwater, leading to seawater intrusion.
[0003] In recent years, multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted investigations and research have been conducted on the issue of seawater intrusion, and research on seawater intrusion phenomena in coastal surface waters and Quaternary-covered coastal areas has become increasingly mature. Previous field surveys have revealed that seawater intrusion also exists in bedrock areas. In coastal bedrock outcrops, some collective and individual deep wells for drinking water have been intruded by seawater, resulting in deteriorated water quality or even abandonment. Currently, no relevant research has been conducted in this area, and the pathways and mechanisms of seawater intrusion remain unclear.
