<Para ID="Par1">The coastal aquifer salinization is an urgent problem caused by groundwater resources overexploitation and climate change. This phenomenon is enhanced in areas lying below the sea level, like the polders in the Netherlands or the Po River lowland in Italy. In these reclaimed lands the saltwater...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">The overdevelopment of urban area has decreased the city’s ground permeability and increased its surface runoff. Moreover, the urban area existing flood control system meets the high risk and new challenge for water resource management due to global warming and climate change. A huge idle raft...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">The ability of water managers to maintain adequate supplies in coming decades depends, in part, on future weather conditions, as climate change has the potential to alter river flows from their current values, possibly rendering them unable to meet demand.
