"Called #SaltwaterIntrusion, the phenomenon happens below coastlines, where [fresh and salt] water naturally hold each other at bay.

Spurred by planetary warming, #SeaLevelRise is causing coastlines to migrate inland and increasing the force pushing salt water landward. At the same time, slower groundwater recharge—due to less rainfall and warmer weather patterns—is weakening the force moving the underground fresh water in some areas."

#rondesantis was turned into chunks of stool in the bowels of #GavinNewsom

His true colors showed for all to see. A little man who needs heels to look taller. A small man who's policies have turned #Florida into an insurance nightmare. He refuses to acknowledge #risingsealevels or #saltwaterintrusion which is taking the shoreline.

This guy wrote up the paperwork and pushed through for his own #bronzestar because he can type well. My friends died for their's. His wasn't for Valor. #coward

#Murals in #temples across #Thailand face the risks of flooding, pollution and poor planning but conservationists say the main danger is another, more existential threat: #SaltwaterIntrusion from rising sea levels sparked by the #ClimateCrisis. #RisingSeas

"#SaltwaterIntrusion [is] an emerging #climate challenge for communities on groundwater across coastal #NewEngland. The introduction of ocean salt water into tap water makes it taste unpleasant and — in severe cases — undrinkable. Salty tap water also poses health concerns for those with high blood pressure. It corrodes home water systems and appliances. "
