The increasing rates of sea level rise caused by global warming within the 21st century are expected to exacerbate inundation and episodic flooding tide in low-lying coastal environments. This development threatens both human development and natural habitats within such coastal communities. The impact of sea level rise will be more pronounced in developing countries where there is limited adapt...

The situation of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers Da Nang city is greatly affected by urban planning, exploitation and water resources use. This article presents research data on hydrogeochemical characteristics stable isotope composition, thereby determining the origin groundwater then study intrusion. relationship between δ2H δ18O during rainy season shows that Holocene aquifer area ha...

The aims of this study are to investigate the interconnection and dynamics between groundwater surface water in coastal area eastern part Peninsular Malaysia using isotope technique integrated with hydrochemical hydrogeological approach. Using stable isotopic composition (d2H d18O), it was shown that there is no relationship mid–deep deep indicating they came from different aquifers. Based on t...

Abstract. Since the Quaternary Period, paleo-seawater intrusions have been suggested to explain observed saline groundwater that extends far inland in coastal zones. The Luanhe River delta (northwest coast of Bohai Sea, China) is characterized by distribution saline, brine, brackish, and fresh from coastline inland. this region exhibits a wide range total dissolved solids (TDS): 0.38–125.9 g L−...

Marine and terrestrial ecosystems are declining globally due to environmental degradation and poorly planned resource use. Traditionally, local government agencies have been responsible of the management of natural reserves to preserve biodiversity. Nonetheless, much of these approaches have failed, suggesting the development of more integrative strategies. In order to discuss the importance of...

Introduction Coastal floods account for a large proportion of the damage to life and property due to natural disasters world-wide. Out of the 15 greatest natural disasters in the world in terms of monetary losses between 2004 and 2008, 14 were coastal (Kron 2008). However, despite the enormity of a particular flood event, people often return to a flood-prone area after a disaster (Cigler 2007; ...
