Fresh groundwater in coastal areas throughout the world is a popular water resource for domestic, agricultural and industrial activities due to the availability of huge quantities and its high quality relative to surface water. For the future, the use of fresh groundwater resources is very likely to increase due to population rise (especially in megacities), economic growth, intensified agricultural development, and the loss of surface water due to contamination. The negative effects of salinisation is detected in the exploitation of groundwater for drinking water purposes and groundwater for agricultural use and nature conservation. In addition, sea level rise and the associated changes in recharge and evapotranspiration pattern will intensity the pressure on this coastal groundwater. | |
