Leakage of CO2 from the geological storage is a serious issue for the sustainability of receiving fresh soil-water system. Subsurface water quality issues are no longer related to one type of pollution in many regions around the globe. Thus, an effort has been made to review studies performed to investigate supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and CO2 enrich brine migration and leakage from geological storage formations. Further, the study also reviewed its impacts on fresh soil-water systems, soil microbes and vegetation. First part of the study discussed scCO2/CO2 enrich brine migration and its leakage from storage formations along with its impact on pore dynamics of hydrological regimes. Later, a state-of-the-art literature survey has been performed to understand the role of CO2-brine leakage in groundwater dynamics and its quality along with soil microbes and plants. It is observed in the literature survey that most of the studies on CO2-brine migration in storage formations reported significant CO2-brine leakage due to over-pressurization through wells (injections and abandoned), fracture and faults during CO2 injection. Thus, changes in the groundwater flow and water table dynamics can be the first impact of the CO2-brine leakage.Subsequently three major alterations may also occur -i) drop in pH of subsurface water, ii)
