Abstract
The sea coast zone of the Southern Baltic Sea is one of the regions in which the risk assessment of both fresh groundwater resources and intake of admissible volumes, defined as a maximum safe yield, is a complex problem, requiring a separate methodological approach. This results from the coexistence of two hydrogeochemical environments—fresh and saline waters and fluctuations of a border surface between the saline (sea) and freshwater. Salt and brackish waters that occur along the coastal Baltic lowlands in Poland originate from the seawater intrusion or brines ascending from the deep Mesozoic strata. The study area covers the Polish part of the southern Baltic coast from Uznam Island to the Vistula Lagoon. These areas are located in different geological units and different hydrogeological regions. The problem of groundwater salinity is presented for the following areas: islands, sandspits, coastal lowlands, cliff coasts, and the Vistula delta (Żulawy).
