Fresh-saline groundwater in deltaic and coastal areasIntroductionSalinisation causes problems for farmers, water managers and nature in many coastal areas of the world. Deltares has in-house databases, numerical modelling techniques, monitoring tools and the knowledge to thoroughly investigate salinisation issues and to implement innovative solutions for a robust climate proof fresh water supply in the coastal zone.
Threats to the fresh water resourcesThe process of salinisation will accelerate due to the anticipated sea level rise, climate change, future land subsidence and especially due to human factors like groundwater extraction and lowering of differentiated polder water levels. The processes described here for the Dutch situation prevail in many other deltas and coastal areas. Concluding, not taking any mitigation and/or adaptation measures will lead to a world-wide increase of salinisation. Focus on regional and local processesDeltares researchers investigate the processes of fresh, brackish and saline groundwater in coastal aquifers on different scales. On a regional scale, the effects of climate change, land, and water use change and the combined effects of preventive measures on groundwater salinisation are studied. Solutions of salinisation problemsDeltares has the knowledge and expertise to study processes in combined fresh and saline groundwater systems.
