Management of ground water in coastal aquifers is composed of major elements which should be properly evaluated. Emphasis should be made on evaluating these elements by means of basic research; otherwise, the management approaches and research would have no sound foundation. The major elements needed for a proper management are critically discussed and some current misconceptions are pointed out. Special attention is given to leakage and salt‐water encroachment problems. The current means of alleviating salt‐water effects are discussed and a new approach is presented.
