“…At present, with the development of advanced computer techniques, two-dimensional and/or threedimensional coastal ocean models have been widely used to better understand and analyze the hydrodynamics, sea water intrusion, and coastal inundation of different estuaries all over the world (Zahed et al, 2008;An et al, 2009;Zhao et al, 2009;Jeong et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2010;Yoon and Shim, 2013;Bhaskaran et al, 2014), with satisfactory results.…”

Seawater intrusion has been a serious problem in the Indus River Estuary (IRE) for decades. The literature reviews, hydrological and meteorological observations were analyzed to examine and discuss the causes and consequences of seawater intrusion in the IRE. Both sea water intrusion and coastal erosion are having a devastating environmental and social impact and the whole ecosystem of the Indus Delta is facing serious threat. The Indus deltaic region is not only threatened by continuing activities upstream but also by the neighboring sea in the south, due to the impacts of local weather conditions. Observational results suggest that seawater intrusion reaches 84 km upstream in the IRE during the dry season. Extensive field investigations and a high resolution coastal ocean model are urgently needed for future study.

“…The problem is accentuated in many coastal areas, such as India and China, by marine salt intrusion into groundwater owing to overexploitation of aquifers and sea level rise (14). Technical and political strategies to cope with these classical problems have been discussed extensively in the literature (15,16) and are therefore not addressed here.…”

Water quality issues are a major challenge that humanity is facing in the twenty-first century. Here, we review the main groups of aquatic contaminants, their effects on human health, and approaches to mitigate pollution of freshwater resources. Emphasis is placed on chemical pollution, particularly on inorganic and organic micropollutants including toxic metals and metalloids as well as a large variety of synthetic organic chemicals. Some aspects of waterborne diseases and the urgent need for improved sanitation in developing countries are also discussed. The review addresses current scientific advances to cope with the great diversity of pollutants. It is organized along the different temporal and spatial scales of global water pollution. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have affected water systems on a global scale for more than five decades; during that time geogenic pollutants, mining operations, and hazardous waste sites have been the most relevant sources of long-term regional and local water pollution. Agricultural chemicals and wastewater sources exert shorter-term effects on regional to local scales. 109 Annu. Rev. Environ. Resourc. 2010.35:109-136.
