“…However, water needs in this area are so great that more drastic measures are needed to prevent intrusion. An experimental fresh-water barrier along 3 km of the coast of Santa Monica Bay was constructed in 1950 by injection of fresh water into wells spaced about 150 meters apart 600 meters inland from the shore (Banks, Richter, and Harder, 1957). By this method the water table in the aquifer was built above sea level as a long ridge, reportedly with little loss of fresh water to the sea.…”

“…Seawater intrusion into aquifers occurs in many areas of the world, including, for example, Barcelona, Spain (Custodio 1987), Sonora, Mexico (Steinich et al 1998, California, USA (Banks et al 1957), and the Biscayne aquifer, Florida, USA (Kohout 1960). Generally, intrusion results from overexploitation of aquifers.…”

“…Remedial measures undertaken there since the 1940's to control the situation have been described in many published reports, for example, that of Banks, Richter, and Harder (1957). Sea-water intrusion was controlled by injecting fresh water through wells into the contaminated aquifer close to the shoreline so as to build up a fresh-water barrier.…”
