“…Seawater intrusion is a serious threat to water-quality in coastal areas (Abd-Elhamid and Javadi, 2011b; Loáiciga et al, 2012). As a result, the growing concern has triggered research on the mechanisms and extent of seawater intrusion, on the evaluation of groundwater quality and soil salinity changes, and on exploring cost-effective control methods (Sadeg and Karahanoðlu, 2001;Narayan et al, 2007;Zghibi et al, 2013). More recently, the number of people reportedly suffering from ''fluoride'' poisoning has been found to be large, mainly due to naturally occurring fluoride in groundwater.…”

“…Aquifer overexploitation can lead to reduced freshwater delivery and increasing groundwater salinity in these systems. Examples of groundwater abstraction‐driven aquifer salinization are numerous globally (Sadeg and Karahanoðlu ), and in most systems, groundwater use plays a larger role than SLR in driving SWI (Ferguson and Gleeson ).…”

Coastal wetlands perform a unique set of physical, chemical, and biological functions, which provide billions of dollars of ecosystem services annually. These wetlands also face myriad environmental and anthropogenic pressures, which threaten their ecological condition and undermine their capacity to provide these services. Coastal wetlands have adapted to a dynamic range of natural disturbances over recent millennia, but face growing pressures from human population growth and coastal development. These anthropogenic pressures are driving saltwater intru sion (SWI) in many coastal systems. The position of coastal wetlands at the terrestrial-marine interface also makes them vulnerable to increasing rates of sea level rise and changing climate. Critically, anthropogenic and natural stressors to coastal wetlands can act synergistically to create negative, and sometimes catastrophic, consequences for both human and natural systems. This review focused on the drivers and impacts of SWI in coastal wetlands and has two goals: (1) to synthesize understanding of coastal wetland change driven by SWI and (2) to review approaches for improved water management to mitigate SWI in impacted systems. While we frame this review as a choice between restoration and retreat, we acknowledge that choices about coastal wetland management are context-specific and may be confounded by competing management goals. In this setting, the choice between restoration and retreat can be prioritized by identifying where the greatest return in ecosystem services can be achieved relative to restoration dollars invested. We conclude that restoration and proactive water management is feasible in many impacted systems.

“…Moreover, this elevated TDS corresponds to the location of the study area which located near the Gulf of Thailand. The high TDS might result from the influence of saltwater intrusion [19]. A very high DO might be affected from the shallow depth of groundwater level and the continuous utilization by dense population.…”

Detection of arsenite-oxidizing bacteria in groundwater with low arsenic concentration in Rayong province, Thailand

As contamination in groundwater has become one of the global problems. It has been reported that million people around the world get adverse effects on their health by direct and indirect As-contaminated groundwater consumption. In groundwater, the most abundant As species are arsenite (As3+) and arsenate (As5+). Arsenite is more toxic and mobile than arsenate. Consequently, arsenite oxidation is considered as an important process in groundwater As bioremediation. It has been reported that arsenite-oxidizing bacteria play an important role in reducing As toxicity in contaminated groundwater environment. A functional gene involved in arsenite oxidation is aioA gene. The key objective of this study was to investigate the arsenite-oxidizing bacteria in groundwater with low arsenic concentration in Rayong province, Thailand. The results showed that the arsenite-oxidizing bacteria were detected in groundwater with low arsenic concentration. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that they were closely related to Rhizobium sp., Bradyrhizobiaceae sp., Hydrogenophaga sp., and Stenotrophomonas sp. The knowledge gained from this study will help better understand the distribution of arsenite-oxidizing bacteria in groundwater with low As concentration.
