Extenuation of saline solutes in shallow aquifer of a small tropical island: A case study of Manukan Island, North Borneo

Abstract

Intensive exploitation of groundwater from Manukan Island, s aquifer has disturbed the natural equilibrium between fresh and saline water and has resulted in the increase of groundwater salinity and the hydrochemical complexities of freshwater-seawater contact. It was observed that the mixing between freshwater-seawater has created diversity in the geochemical processes of Manukan Island, s aquifer and altered the freshwater and seawater mixture away from the theoretical composition line.
