The article provides information about the situation with groundwater (the Baltic artesian basin), which was used for water supply purposes at the turn of the 1950s–1960s. In those years, studies were conducted, based on which the sources of pollution in the upper aquifers were identified. Issues related to the salinization of groundwater by seawater were also considered. Salty seawater from the sea entered through cracks towards the mainland and deeper into the islands. It was found that brackish waters along the coast lay at a certain depth beneath a layer of fresh waters. Important recommendations were proposed to address the aforementioned problems, and they were subsequently implemented.References
