In the rural and coastal Almyros basin in Magnesia, Greece, the objective of the current study is the assessment of aquifer vulnerability to seawater intrusion using the GALDIT approach. The Almyros aquifer system’s quality and quantity have de...

Seawater intrusion (SWI) is a major environmental threat to groundwater resources in coastal regions. GALDIT is an index-based SWI vulnerability model that is increasingly being used in many parts of the world to identify regions that are vulnerable...

Recently, coastal aquifers have been found to be increasingly exposed to seawater intrusion (SWI) due to climate change and anthropogenic activities. Various method exists for coastal aquifer vulnerability mapping and the one most commonly used is GA...

Climate change and anthropogenic activities are necessitating accurate diagnoses of seawater intrusion (SWI) to ensure the sustainable utilization of groundwater resources in coastal areas. Here, vulnerability to SWI was assessed by classifying the e...

Aquifer overexploitation in coastal aquifers has led to seawater intrusion that causes severe salinization effects on the groundwater system. The most widespread method for assessing groundwater vulnerability to seawater intrusion, the dominant cause...

The Korba region in northwestern Tunisia has a coastal aquifer that is impacted by intensive irrigation, urban expansion, and sensitivity to SWI. We assessed the vulnerability extent of Korba’s GW to SWI. We utilized a parametric model for GW v...

Salinization of coastal aquifer systems constitutes a major threat for groundwater. Especially areas with high population density due to increasing tourist activity may face severe problems. In this study, the GALDIT method was applied in the north s...

This paper presents the investigation of groundwater vulnerability to seawater intrusion of the aquifer system in the coastal area of Laspias River, NE Greece, for the year 2023, by applying the GALDIT, SITE and SIVI methods, in the context of the gr...

Sea-level rise, in the context of climate change, increases the likelihood of seawater intruding into coastal aquifers. This study assesses the vulnerability of the Pleistocene aquifer in the coastal area of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, Vietnam. Data fo...

Seawater intrusion into Greece’s coastal aquifers is a prevalent issue. The Greek coastline extends for 15,147 km. Once groundwater sources become contaminated, remediation methods are often challenging, costly, and protracted. This study focus...

Coastal areas have become increasingly vulnerable to groundwater salinization, especially in the last century, due to the combined effects of climate change and growing anthropization. In this study, a novel methodology named GALDIT-SUSI was applied...

Seawater intrusion forms a significant environmental and hydrogeological phenomenon that raises significant risks for the sustainability and quality of coastal aquifer hydrosystems. The present review study critically examines the available methodolo...

The inflow of saline water reduces water quality and limits its use as drinking water. The risk of seawater intrusion into groundwater along the Polish coastline was assessed using two methods. The vulnerability method (GALDIT) considered six aquifer...

This manuscript aims to present the framework for the development of a four-stage tool for sustainable groundwater management as one of the highly interactive three-day workshop products. The four stages in the tool are (1) representing the target sy...
