Road salt can enter groundwater through runoff from roads, where it dissolves and infiltrates the soil. Once in groundwater, salt can increase the salinity of the water, harming aquatic life and affecting the quality of drinking water. High levels of salt in groundwater can also lead to corrosion of infrastructure and impact soil fertility.

How can building new roads affect the recharge zone of an aquifer?
Building new roads can lead to increased impervious surfaces, which can prevent rainfall from soaking into the ground. This reduces the amount of water reaching the aquifer, potentially lowering groundwater levels and impacting the recharge zone. Additionally, road construction can introduce contaminants such as oil, gasoline, and road salt, which can infiltrate the groundwater and affect its quality.
What are the bad effects of road salt?
Road salt causes corosion of vehicles
What is road salt used for?
