Assessment of the impact of sea-level rise due to climate change on coastal groundwater discharge
An assessment of sea intrusion into coastal aquifers as a consequence of local sea-level rise (LSLR) due to climate change was carried out at Murgia and Salento in southern Italy. The interpolation of sea-level measurements at three tide-gauge stations was performed during the period of 2000 to 2014...

An assessment of sea intrusion into coastal aquifers as a consequence of local sea-level rise (LSLR) due to climate change was carried out at Murgia and Salento in southern Italy.

The best fit of measurements shows an increasing rate of LSLR ranging from 4.4 mm/y to 8.8 mm/y, which will result in a maximum LSLR of approximately 2 m during the 22nd century.
