“…Channelization has been particularly common within portions of a river network that naturally store sediment, such as alluvial fans (Petalas, 2013), deltas (Arnaud-Fassetta, 2003), braided or anastomosing channel segments (Surian and Rinaldi, 2004), and floodplains (Kroes and Hupp, 2010) (Fig. 6), as well as within urban areas (Martín-Vide and Andreatta, 2009).…”

“…A decade later, another simple approach was proposed by Melloul and Azmon [59], where groundwater quality trends of selected species were proposed as a qualitative indicator of aquifer salinization and aquifer pollution by anthropogenic sources. More recently, several papers have focused on the origin and distribution of GW salinization either in porous aquifers [60][61][62][63][64][65][66], especially in arid and semiarid regions of the Mediterranean basin [67][68][69][70][71][72][73], or in fractured aquifers [74][75][76][77][78][79], by means of a detailed geochemical study. Together with major ions trend, selected trace elements were used to better characterize GW flow and thus salt transport [80].…”

The Mediterranean area is undergoing intensive demographic, social, cultural, economic, and environmental changes. This generates multiple environmental pressures such as increased demand for water resources, generation of pollution related to wastewater discharge, and land consumption. In the Mediterranean area, recent climate change studies forecast large impacts on the hydrologic cycle. Thus, in the next years, surface and ground-water resources will be gradually more stressed, especially in coastal areas. In this review paper, the historical and geographical distribution of peer-review studies and the main mechanisms that promote aquifer salinization in the Mediterranean area are critically discussed, providing the state of the art on topics such as actual saltwater wedge characterization, paleo-salinities in coastal areas, water-rock interactions, geophysical techniques aimed at delineating the areal and vertical extent of saltwater intrusion, management of groundwater overexploitation using numerical models and GIS mapping techniques for aquifer vulnerability to salinization. Each of the above-mentioned approaches has potential advantages and drawbacks; thus, the best tactic to tackle coastal aquifer management is to employ a combination of approaches. Finally, the number of studies focusing on predictions of climate change effects on coastal aquifers are growing but are still very limited and surely need further research.
