Summary
DescriptionSalt water intrusion wikipedia2.png
English: Saltwater intrusion is the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers which results into diversified habitats loss and land subsidence. Most often, it is caused by ground water pumping from coastal wells, artificial levee, or from construction of navigation channels or oil field canals. The channels and canals provide conduits for salt water to be brought into fresh water marshes. But salt water intrusion can also occur as the result of a natural process like a storm surge from a hurricane or sea-level rising up.
Français : L'intrusion d'eau salée désigne le mouvement d'une masse d'eau salée dans un aquifère d'eau douce. Ceci entraîne une perte d'habitats diversifiés et parfois un affaissement des terres (en Louisiane par exemple). Le plus souvent, l'intrusion est due au pompage massif d'eaux souterraines à partir de puits côtiers, à certaines digues artificielles ou à la construction de canaux de navigation ou de canaux de champs pétrolifères. Les canaux sont des conduits pouvant amener de l'eau salée dans les marais d'eau douce. Des intrusions ponctuelles, éventuellement répétées d'eau salée peuvent également se produire lors d'onde de tempête (surcots) et/ou en lien avec l'élévation du niveau marin.
