The use of transient electromagnetic (TEM) method, combining with the hydrogeological stratification analysis and chemical composition of groundwater has clarified the distribution of saline-fresh groundwater of coastal aquifers in estuarine coastal area (Giao Thủy, Xuân Trường, Trực Ninh and Hải Hậu) Nam Định Province. In this paper, the authors introduce the results and the possibility of applying TEM method to determine the salinity of aquifers in particular and water saturated zone in general. With 61 measurement points, using the software SITEM / SEMDI with interpretation model of three, four and five layers. The results of the analysis of chemical composition of groundwater plays the role of regression parameters and testing in determining the limit. As a result of the study the potential of fresh-saline distribution of groundwater in aquifers, especially in the Pleistocene aquifer of Hà Nội formation in the study area has been determined.
