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.
