Which consequence results when coastal aquifers discharge excessively?

💡 Explanation

Saltwater intrusion occurs because reduced freshwater discharge allows easier inland migration through the aquifer matrix. This is driven by hydraulic gradient changes associated to the Ghyben-Herzberg relation; therefore, saline water encroaches, rather than land rising or island accretion happening.
