Saltwater intrusion is common in heavily populated coastal areas due to the excessive withdrawal of groundwater for agricultural, industrial, and residential use. This over-extraction reduces the freshwater aquifer pressure, allowing saltwater from the ocean to migrate inland and contaminate freshwater supplies. Additionally, rising sea levels associated with climate change exacerbate this issue, further compromising freshwater resources. As a result, communities face challenges in maintaining safe drinking water and sustainable agriculture.

The coastal lowlands would also be more heavily populated
I would expect the coastal lowlands to be more heavily populated, as these areas tend to be more hospitable for human settlement due to milder climates and access to resources like water and fertile land. The rugged terrain and harsh weather conditions in the Himalayan mountain system make it less conducive to large-scale human habitation.
The east coast is more heavily populated.
Most of the islands of the Caribbean are heavily populated/ for a + false
No.
Typically, coastal lowlands are more heavily populated than the Himalayan mountain system. This is because lowlands provide easier access to resources, transportation, and trade, while mountains often have challenging terrain and harsher living conditions.
