Abstract
The present study is a part of a long term research programme on the possibility of applying electric barriers to control and prevent polluting intrusion in acquifers. In the first part of - the research, both laboratory and field experiments have been carried out; the field experiments have been conducted energising the soil with alternating current, with different frequency and power, by linear electrodes, consisting of the casing pipes of the bore-holes, in sites where an important sea water intrusion in the water bearing stratum had been pointed out, and measuring the salinity above and below the barriet.
