Repeated emptying of the well, intended to reduce salinity levels, might instead have led to saltwater intrusion into the aquifer.IWMI (2005) Tsunami impacts on shallow groundwater and associated water supply on the east coast of Sri Lanka: A post-tsunami well recovery support initiative and an assessment of groundwater salinity in three areas of Batticaloa and Ampara Districts, IWMI, Colombo.
