Droughts are very devastating natural hazards that affects large extent of land and causes great economic losses. Droughts are determined by a deficit of water availability over a long time period, due to consistently below average precipitation in that region. The study aimed to discuss the effects of drought with its various features and the frequency of occurrence. To analyse the meteorological drought the study utilises the standard precipitation index (SPI) at different time scales, i.e., 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Monthly rainfall data for 1901-2002 were utilised from 47 meteorological stations scattered in the study area to assess SPI values. The drought severity and duration are also estimated. The analysed result shows that most of the drought events fall in mild drought category according to the SPI classification. However, the severe drought events were much harmful on some part of the study area due to its low annual rainfall rates. The analysis would help to determine the risk of future droughts in the region, to analyse their effects on economy, the environment, and society, and to take steps to mitigate the impact of droughts.

India is fortunate to have a long length of coastline. In addition to the numerous villages and industrial communities, many of the country's metropolitan centres are situated along the coastline. Saltwater intrusion is the migration of salty water into freshwater coastal aquifers, resulting in groundwater quality degradation. Land-use changes, climate change, and sea-level rise are the most significant contributing causes to saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. Coastal saline water intrusion has a broad range of impacts on the community and financial systems, in addition to the area's overall ecosystem, prompting many studies. According to the research, saline soils cover around 70 thousand square kilometres in India, including about 21,000 square kilometres in coastal regions. It is imperative to understand the extent of seawater intrusion in order to plan and manage mitigation measures towards sustainable development. The objective of this paper is to derive an insightful review of the methods, i.e., hydrogeochemical assessment, geophysical assessment and numerical modelling; used to tackle the pertaining issue of seawater intrusion.
