et al., 2020; Mastrocicco and Colombani, 2021). Coastal salinisation is attributed to regionally varying combinations of climate-induced drivers, like SLR and storm-related flooding by seawater, and non- climate drivers, like water withdrawal and land-use changes  . Monitoring-related adaptations , including advances in modelling and monitoring, are providing decision-relevant, regional-scale information . For example, new projections indicate which drinking-water intake stations on China's Pearl River Estuary will be unable to meet demands by 2100 due to SLR and drought , while others show that SLR effects on seawater intrusion into the coastal aquifer in Kerala, India, under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios are negligible . Salinisation-associated changes may disproportionately burden women responsible for securing drinking water and fuel, such as in the Indian Sundarbans . Salinisation will continue to endanger coastal water and soil quality in the future  , but the evidence assessed above shows that subsequent impacts to human health and agriculture will depend heavily on regional variations in environment and human behaviour .
