Assessment and adaptation to climate change and sea level rise impacts on Egypt’s northern coasts

Abstract Climate change and sea level rise (SLR) represent many challenges for coastal areas such as erosion saltwater intrusion (SWI). This study aims to highlight the effect of climate SLR on Egypt’s northern coasts present appropriate adaptations. A number techniques adapting with have been presented. Two numerical models used simulation PLAXIS 2D-FEST. The results showed that will affect a cities Nile Delta aquifer be affected by SWI. scenarios applied adapt SLR.
