The interplay between brackish groundwater and brackish sea water on the coasts of the seas and the oceans. The groundwater resources are the rain and the waterways flowing into the seas and the oceans. The saline water resources are the seas and the oceans. The saline groundwater is the bottom of the groundwater. The taste and the thickness of the sea water salty 40 times the thickness of the water of the groundwater and the separation between them and is mentioned by God in the Koran - Surah Rahman.

this process is called Saltwater intrusion is the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers, which can lead to contamination of drinking water sources and other consequences. Saltwater intrusion occurs naturally to some degree in most coastal aquifers, owing to the hydraulic connection between groundwater and seawater. Because saline water has a higher mineral content than freshwater, it is denser and has a higher water pressure. As a result, saltwater can push inland beneath the freshwater. Certain human activities, especially groundwater pumping from coastal freshwater wells, have increased saltwater intrusion in many coastal areas. Water extraction drops the level of fresh groundwater, reducing its water pressure and allowing saltwater to flow further inland. Other contributors to saltwater intrusion include navigation channels or agricultural and drainage channels, which provide conduits for saltwater to move inland, and it can also make sea level rise. Saltwater intrusion can also be worsened by extreme events like hurricane storm surges
