This saltwater comes from naturally occurring salt minerals in the subsurface. Proper management of ground water reduces, and frequently avoids, intrusion of saltwater into freshwater supplies. South-central Kansas contains unconsolidated (uncemented) sand and gravel aquifers of the Great Bend Prairie, the Equus Beds, and the Arkansas River valley. Many of the same explanations and methods apply in other parts of Kansas where natural salt contamination is a problem. Areas of south-central Kansas where salt contamination of freshwater aquifers might occur are illustrated in the map below. South-central Kansas is shown in detail because of the high occurrence of salt-contamination problems in this region.
