Groundwater Throughflow and Seawater Intrusion in High Quality Coastal Aquifers

This study investigates the relationship between groundwater throughflow and seawater intrusion in a high-quality coastal aquifer. It combines numerical modeling, geophysics, and 30 years of monitoring data to show that anisotropy and heterogeneity significantly impact seawater intrusion dynamics, making conventional monitoring wells and simplified models inadequate for accurate prediction. The research suggests the need for more sophisticated monitoring strategies to capture the complex interplay of factors influencing seawater intrusion.

Pollution exacerbates China's water scarcity and its regional inequality

This study reveals that inadequate water quality significantly exacerbates China's water scarcity, especially in North China, which experiences year-round scarcity. South China, despite sufficient water quantity, faces seasonal scarcity due to poor quality. This highlights the urgent need for integrated water quantity and quality management in China.

Future global urban water scarcity and potential solutions

The study projects a significant increase in the global urban population facing water scarcity, from 933 million in 2016 to 1.693-2.373 billion by 2050. The majority of water-scarce cities could potentially alleviate their scarcity through various solutions, but several large cities, particularly in India and Pakistan, face significant challenges due to geographical and socioeconomic constraints. The research emphasizes the importance of water conservation, controlled urbanization, and climate change mitigation in addressing this growing issue.
