22 nd Salt Water Intrusion Meeting: Salt Water Intrusion in Aquifers: Challenges and PerspectivesFig. 1 – Human activities impacts on coastal areasCoastal aquifer vulnerability zoning should be periodically validated by accurate monitoring before usingit to assess integrated vulnerability scenarios in planning coastal area management. Monitoring carried outwith direct and indirect methods is essential to determine and predict groundwater deterioration, andassess other management activities in coastal aquifers. It implies the planning of the most effective fieldsurveying, and geo-referenced data processing, so as to zone areas with different degrees of integratedvulnerability and risk. As most aquifers of different types are heterogeneous and anisotropic, a suitablemonitoring scale should be chosen to represent their characteristics in all details needed by decisionmakers.The management of coastal waters and areas requires interdisciplinary collaboration among differentexperts on water resources and land planning, agronomy, biodiversity, economy, water laws anddirectives. Promoting joint management of shared aquifers is a need. Hydrogeologists’ contribution isessential in developing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) policies, concerningtechnology, strategic and project planning, economic instruments, regulations, efficiency of GWadministration, and decision making.Science may give the right answers to plan the best actions necessary to manage land and water resourcesin a sustainable way so as to prevent conflicts among different users and in the respect of theMediterranean environment.159
