Climate change threatens groundwater quality in southern Finland coastal aquifer.
A study in southern Finland looked at how climate change and human activities affect a coastal aquifer. Rising sea levels could lead to seawater entering the aquifer, affecting water quality and causing flooding. Researchers created a 3D model to understand the aquifer's structure and predict groundwater flow. They used LiDAR data to identify flood-prone areas. The study suggested new locations for water intake wells and provided valuable information for managing groundwater in the future.
