O=C=O<p>When the sea moves inland: A global climate wake-up call from Bangladesh's Delta</p><p>As sea levels climb and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> grows more extreme, coastal regions everywhere are facing a creeping threat: salt. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Salinization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Salinization</span></a> of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/freshwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freshwater</span></a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/soils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>soils</span></a> adversely affects 500 million people around the world, especially in low-lying <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/river" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>river</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/deltas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deltas</span></a>.</p><p>The western parts of the delta, already more prone to tidal influence, showed the fastest increases in salinity. The data suggests that the combination of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SeaLevelRise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeaLevelRise</span></a>, reduced freshwater flow, and increasingly frequent storm surges are all contributing to the inland movement and retention of saltwater.</p><p>Since about 2007, many parts of the delta have experienced stepwise increases in salinity, often linked to powerful storms like <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Cyclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cyclone</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Sidr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sidr</span></a>. These changes can devastate crops, erode <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a>, and force communities to move.

John Garver<p>Road salt is driving regional salinization, and this is compromising municipal water in the lower Mohawk Watershed (NY).
