22 nd Salt Water Intrusion Meeting: Salt Water Intrusion in Aquifers: Challenges and PerspectivesLOCAL CLIMATE PROOF FRESH GROUNDWATER SUPPLY: ANADAPTATION WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY WITH IMPACT?OUDE ESSINK, G.; DELSMAN, J.; PAUW, P.; De LOUW, P.; Van BAAREN, E.;FANECA SANCHEZ, M.gualbert.oudeessink@deltares.nlDELTARESPOBox 85467, 3508 AL Utrecht, The NetherlandsAbstract. In the Dutch coastal zone, a severe internal salinisation of the groundwater systemcan easily occur as huge volumes of brackish up to saline groundwater are already present.In addition, salt water wedges encroach the river and estuarine branches, leading to externalsalinisation of the surface water system. Both processes threaten sectors such as agriculture,drinking water supply and nature. On top, several physical drivers will jeopardize our(future) water system even more, viz. 1. the autonomous internal salinisation due to pasthydraulic head differences in the top system (e.g. high mean sea level relative to low-lyingpolder water levels), 2. climate change (including sea level rise), 3. land subsidence (up to 1m per century), and 4. operational water strategies. To make The Netherlands Climate Prooffor the coming century, fresh water supply is (next to safety against flooding) one of the toppriorities in the Delta Programme and in the Dutch National Water Plan. National adaptativestrategies are developed to make this happen. We believe that also a combination of localadaptative strategies with the focus on the groundwater system can make fresh water supplypossible on a regional scale in a future setting. The following steps towards this ClimateProof Fresh Water Supply setting can be identified: (a) better understanding the presentwater system, followed by (b) assessing the impact of future climate and anthropogenicstresses to the (ground)water system. The third step is (c) coming up with feasible, robust andflexible strategies for future water management. In this presentation, some local strategieswill be shown, illustrated with numerical models on local-regional-national scale,(innovative) monitoring campaigns (e.g. airborne geophysics) up to stakeholderparticipations. The location of the showcases is in the Dutch Southwestern Delta, a low-lyingsaline environment where climate proof fresh groundwater supply strategies have highpotentials.Keywords: salt water intrusion, climate proof, fresh water supply, modelling, climate change,water management, adaptive strategies18
