Description of the book:
This book offers a dedicated and in-depth analysis of saltwater intrusion (SWI), the primary threat to freshwater security in coastal deltas worldwide. It meticulously examines the global drivers—both natural and anthropogenic—that accelerate this process. The volume is built around a core of detailed case studies from the world's most vulnerable deltas, including the Mekong, Nile, and Mississippi, offering tangible, real-world context to the theoretical challenges. It comprehensively covers the advanced methods and technologies essential for monitoring and modeling intrusion dynamics, from geophysical tools to satellite-based observations. Critically, this volume delves into the severe human consequences of salinity contamination, detailing its impacts on water access, public health, agriculture, and economic stability. Finally, it evaluates a robust suite of technical, managerial, and policy solutions, from engineering interventions like Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) to adaptive governance models, providing a roadmap for defense against salinization. This volume is an indispensable resource for hydrogeologists, coastal zone managers, environmental engineers, policymakers, and public health officials in deltaic regions tasked with protecting vital freshwater resources for future generations.
Keywords: Saltwater Intrusion (SWI), Salinization, Coastal Aquifers, Sea-Level Rise, Case Studies, Freshwater Security, Subsurface Mapping, Governance
