Fresh-saline groundwater in deltaic and coastal areas
Salinisation 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.

Welcome to the salinisation & Freshwater availability wiki of Deltares!The impact of salinisation is becoming a bigger problem in various parts around the world. Given climate change, droughts, sea level rise and anthropogenic impacts such as rising demand for fresh water, dams and dredging, long-term effects must be considered in current and future interventions in the system. Deltares is using its system knowledge and models to contribute to monitoring, forecasting, scenario analysis, policy studies, effect analyses, testing innovations and implementing solutions. A partner to tackle salt intrusion and improve freshwater availability in an integrated and future-resilient way. In the Deltares Team Salinisation, we combine the strengths of the different units and programs within Deltares towards scientific and societal impact by working on an integrated approach for salt- and freshwater management and building a community of salt experts. As a knowledge institute, it is important to be at the forefront of knowledge and tool development, and of developing adaptive strategies for a sustainable (fresh) water supply, both in a national and an international setting. This wiki serves as a portfolio for all salinisation projects within Deltares.
