Abstrakt: Around the globe, seawater intrusion in the coastal aquifer is a significant problem. Excessive groundwater extraction because of population growth, industrialization, tourism, and other anthropogenic activities and geogenic processes initiates and accelerates this problem. The contaminated groundwater impacts the health, economic activities, and social and cultural development of coastal regions. This work aims to explore the current status and a holistic comprehending review of geophysical studies applied to delineate the seawater intrusion in the high-quality coastal aquifers in India, as well as its origin and causes, mitigation strategies, and recent advancements in geophysical techniques to access the qualitative and quantitative properties of the complex aquifer system. In the future, it is recommended to do a detailed subsurface imaging of the entire coastal belt of India to decipher the lateral and vertical variation of the lithological conditions and seawater intrusion in space and time with improved/advanced geophysical techniques, which can lead toward sustainable development.
