Resources in coastal groundwater under hydroclimatic extremes

Abstract -

Freshwater resources in coastal regions are under enormous stress due to population growth, pollution and climate change. The last years of extended drought have suddenly left several European coastal regions with protracted water shortages. The RESCUE project aims to use research and innovation to improve water security in these regions, by applying novel physical and numerical workflows to identify freshwater resources in previously unexplored coastal deep and offshore aquifers. These aquifers could provide a crucial strategic resource for freshwater at times of increased need. [...]
