ABSTRACT
Nile Delta (ND) region is highly vulnerable to climate change (CC) impacts. Potential impacts on groundwater salinization may be very significant, because of the associated sea level rise (SLR). CC is expected to continue to take place over the next century and to exacerbate existing environmental problems in many countries. Research on different CC adaptation measures for groundwater salinization has been published worldwide. The Sharkeya governorate suffers from combined effects of excessive extraction and SLR due to its location. The adaptation measures proposed are based on the most likely moderate future scenario. Well injection is a very popular adaptation measure that could mitigate or minimize saltwater intrusion (SWI) in coastal aquifers. Desalination became very common lately in Egypt. It is considered as a viable option in water scarce regions. The main target of proposing this adaptation measure is to benefit from the brackish water and transfer it to a freshwater resource.
