Access to clean and safe drinking water is critical to public health and economic prosperity. About 70% of U.S. drinking water comes from surface waters, including the tidal fresh regions of estuaries. Drought, sea level rise, watershed and port & harbor engineering, and changes in land-use are increasingly threatening such water supplies in coastal regions due to increasing risk of salinization. The risk extends to water extraction from the coastal zones for thermoelectric power, irrigation, and industrial production. This project will bring together an interdisciplinary team of researchers and stakeholders to assess the risks of salt contamination of water supplies in tidal rivers, synthesize the current understanding and identify knowledge gaps. A better understanding of climatic and other anthropogenic effects on the water supplies will be valuable for bolstering the resilience of water infrastructure and protecting public health.A series of virtual web panels and an in-person workshop will be organized to assess the science on this emerging topic. Case studies of saltwater intrusion and freshwater salinization in tidal rivers in the US and around the world will be discussed and synthesized. The workshop will bring together national and international communities of diverse researchers working on the interdisciplinary aspects of salt contamination of water supplies in tidal rivers, involving senior and early-career scientists, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The workshop will include outreach activities through engagement with stakeholders involved in water management, conservation, drinking water treatment operations, and will include participants from the agricultural, industrial, municipal and power generation sectors that rely on access to freshwater sources. The overall goals are twofold: (1) publish a systematic review paper to synthesize current understanding of this interdisciplinary topic and identify major knowledge gaps; (2) produce a forward-looking workshop report to create a research vision and guide future research activities on salt contamination of water supplies in coastal zones.This award is co-funded by the Hydrologic Sciences and Physical Oceanography programs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

获得清洁和安全的饮用水对于公共卫生和经济繁荣至关重要。大约70％的美国饮用水来自地表水，包括河口的潮汐新鲜地区。干旱，海平面上升，流域和港口和港口工程以及土地使用的变化越来越威胁到沿海地区的此类供水，因为盐分的风险增加。风险扩展到从沿海地区提取的水，以进行热电，灌溉和工业生产。该项目将汇集一个由研究人员和利益相关者组成的跨学科团队，以评估潮汐河中水供应的盐污染风险，综合当前的理解并确定知识差距。对气候和其他人为影响的水供应有更好的了解对于增强水基础设施的弹性和保护公共卫生的弹性将是有价值的。一系列虚拟网络面板和一个面对面的研讨会将被组织以评估这个新兴主题的科学。将讨论和综合有关美国潮汐河中盐水入侵和淡水盐化的案例研究。该研讨会将汇集各种研究人员的国家和国际社区，从事潮汐河水供应盐污染的跨学科方面，涉及高级和早期职业科学家，博士后研究生和研究生。该研讨会将包括通过与参与水管理，保护，饮用水处理行动的利益相关者的参与来包括外展活动，并包括来自依靠依靠获得淡水来源的农业，工业，市政和发电部门的农业，工业，市政和发电部门。总体目标是双重的：（1）发布一份系统的审查论文，以综合对该跨学科主题的当前理解并确定主要的知识差距； （2）制作一份前瞻性的研讨会报告，以创建研究愿景，并指导未来的沿海地区盐污染研究活动。该奖项由水文科学和物理海洋学计划共​​同资助。这项奖项反映了NSF的法规任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的criter scriter scriter scritia crietia crietia criter criteria criteria criter criteria criteria crietia criteria crietia crietia criteria criteria criteria criteria crietia crietia crietia crietia均值得一提。
