Saltwater intrusion is a serious environmental problem that affect coastal areas. This phenomenon happens when seawater seeps into rivers, wetlands, and freshwater aquifers. The main reason of the phenomenon is increased groundwater usage, tidal influence, and rising sea levels. Gujarat state is surrounded by oceans and seas. This study investigates saltwater intrusion in the Mahi River Basin, specifically in the Vasad district of Gujarat, India. Mahi river water meets Arabian sea. The study analyzed water samples, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), and pH values, and conducted a community survey to understand the health, ecological, and socio-economic effects of saltwater intrusion. The study highlights need for sustainable water management measures like desalination and increased water quality monitoring. Villages near the Padara and Sindhrot regions of the Mahi River face problems due to seawater intrusion. Lachanpur Village has the greatest electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) values, reaching 2393 μS/cm and 1195 ppm, respectively.

摘要

Saltwater intrusion is a serious environmental problem that affect coastal areas. This phenomenon happens when seawater seeps into rivers, wetlands, and freshwater aquifers. The main reason of the phenomenon is increased groundwater usage, tidal influence, and rising sea levels. Gujarat state is surrounded by oceans and seas. This study investigates saltwater intrusion in the Mahi River Basin, specifically in the Vasad district of Gujarat, India. Mahi river water meets Arabian sea. The study analyzed water samples, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), and pH values, and conducted a community survey to understand the health, ecological, and socio-economic effects of saltwater intrusion. The study highlights need for sustainable water management measures like desalination and increased water quality monitoring. Villages near the Padara and Sindhrot regions of the Mahi River face problems due to seawater intrusion. Lachanpur Village has the greatest electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) values, reaching 2393 μS/cm and 1195 ppm, respectively.
