Sea‐water intrusion was observed in China's coastal aquifers as early as the 1960s. At present, it covers an area of more than 580 km2, and is continuing to extend in the coastal area of Laizhou Bay. There is a wide transition zone of 1.5–6.0 km, in which both the simple mixing of local fresh water and sea water and the cation exchange can be recognized. In this paper, extensive chemical and head data sets in four dimensions relevant to the distribution of the sea‐water intrusion and ion exchange are presented.
