Abstract: Various zones of the world usages for agriculture are groundwater and the main source of fresh water resources in the coastal area are seriously affected by seawater intrusion. The population density is increasing at disturbing rates, Fresh groundwater resources are depleted, and raising the importance of groundwater monitoring. Pakistan is especially helpless against climate change since it has a warm climate; it is land region is generally bone-dry and semi-dry areas. The fundamental reason for choosing District Badin was assessing the quality of drinking water for human utilization. Large coastal areas of Badin are exceptionally influenced via seawater intrusion. Investigation areas are progressively becoming ecological disaster zones.
