Groundwater resources and occurrence in the Comoros Islands are variable owing to geological variability. [1] Young volcanic islands, including the active Karthala volcano on Grande Comore, host two types of aquifers; [2] [3] a widespread basal aquifer characterised by deep groundwater table, high hydraulic conductivity, high recharge rate and saltwater intrusion issues in coastal areas, [4] and local perched aquifer systems. Older, weathered volcanic islands such as Mayotte are characterised by more complex groundwater occurrence through discontinuous successions of perched aquifers. [5] [6] The Glorioso coral islands host a shallow freshwater lens fed by rainfall infiltration where freshwater-saltwater interactions and spatial patterns are strongly influenced by topography and evapotranspiration processes.
