Transgression and Regression. There is what we call seassonal inflow of the ocean into the land. When the ocean flows into the land, it doesnt just come and go, it comes with gifts...these gifts are sediments rich in desolved salt and iron. So when we have inflow of water, the sediments rich in iron and salt are deposited while the water flow back into the ocean, river, swamps, lagoon. In the process, contaminating the fresh aquifers in our environment.
....it is also human induced! Increasing population leading to increase in demand for potable water leading to excessive groundwater extraction. This activity will allow saltwater to quickly replace freshwater in the aquifer.

Most shallow boreholes are always at greater risk When it comes to replacement of fresh water with salt water in the aquifer. This usually takes months or years.

mank1234:
A central borehole will have the same effect on the environment as individual borehole since water is taken from the same water table underground except if it is pumped from a river or reservoir.

Central borehole will experience same contaminants and therefore not a solution. A better solution is using an advance water purifier which will not only remove the salt but also bacteria, fungi and virus. That can be done economically on individual basis.
A central borehole is still the solution, with that...the authority can control the extraction rate in other to checkmate the hydrodynamic balancing responsible for any form of contamination and also allow us have a minimal stable crust.

Do you know how much it will cost to carry out a complete treatment? I believe this should be done on a community base.

I don't think it will have a positive impact on the environment if every houses drill a borehole due to the such effect on the stability of our earth crust. What we need is community development program aim at having a central borehole system or a mini water treatment facility for a small community where every member of the community can easily tap into the central system using a simple pipe network system. This will reduce the negative impact on the society, make repair, operation elf the facility easier and cheaper
Good point sir,

This is what most people and government don't understand. Especially in lagos. How many people in lagos have access to fresh water from all the boreholes they are sinking.

Most household have their fresh water turn salty over few months or years of use. This is just a physical example of the adverse effect of having borehole sunk in each household. Its something happening to 90% of lagosians and everybody can see it. We all know the danger involved.

Now, what about the effects we couldn't see or feel....do anybody know how devastating it could be!

All the properties are outside the minimum standard permissible level allowed by the WHO for portable water consumption.

But why do we have this problem...In simple tone...Salt water intrusion!!! The salt is gotten from the atlantic ocean, in addition to that, lagos have lot of creeks, rivers, lagoons and swamps. All these contributed to the deterioration of the good aquifer...even up till the mainlands.

The other 70%, though have water in their various houses, but the water is somehow useless and not good for consumption of any kind. These waters have their alkalinity extremely high i.e they are basic, The EC also in very high range as well as the TDS. Also the total hardness is nothing to write about....seriously Hard.
