Answer

Saltwater intrusion is a big concern in Florida because aquifers are the main source of water for residents in northeastern and central Florida.

More than 90 percent of residents in these regions use groundwater from aquifers for their water supply.

When saltwater intrusion occurs, salt water moves into the freshwater aquifer.

Pumping fresh water from the aquifer for residents can result in saltwater contamination of the fresh water.
