There is increasing debate these days on climate change and its possible consequences. Much of this debate has focused in the context of surface water systems. In many arid areas of the world, rainfall is scarce and so is surface runo. These areas rely heavily on groundwater. The consequences of cli

Monitoring of seawater intrusion is essential to determine and predict groundwater deterioration, and assess other managerial activities in coastal aquifers. Monitoring involves designing strategy and methodology of field surveys for choosing the most effective means towards obtaining the most relia
## Abstract Measurements of the tide and groundwater levels in coastal zones are of importance in determining the properties of coastal aquifers. The solution to a oneβdimensional unsteady groundwater flow model in a coastal confined aquifer with sinusoidal fluctuation of the tide shows that the ti
## Abstract Coastal groundwater aquifers are often exposed to heavy pumping and consequently to risks of saltwater intrusion. In many cases, however, the observed increase in groundwater salinity can only be partly explained by actual saltwater intrusion from the sea. Other salinityβincreasing proc
We accept the thesis that coastal management, as any other form of environmental management, can be effective only with the cooperation of a multitude of stakeholders with conflicting interests. At present, cooperation is forced upon stakeholders by a paternalistic (top-down) coastal management that
## Abstract The spatial dimension of agriβenvironmental analysis has been recognized in a large number of studies, and the implications for the choice of analytical approaches and, further, environmental policies have been investigated both theoretically and empirically. Spatial management is an in
