Saltwater Intrusion Threatens Spanish Mediterranean Coast
Saltwater intrusion is threatening drinking water supplies along the Spanish Mediterranean coast, according to Professor Robert Reinke. Excessive groundwater consumption in coastal regions is causing water levels to drop, allowing seawater to penetrate underground reserves. Rising sea levels may exacerbate this salinization process, potentially making freshwater undrinkable. The issue is linked to the depletion of groundwater through overconsumption.
