Content: The strong waves that crash onto shorelines often lead to an increase in the erosion rate. This ultimately causes destabilization of the coastal areas, posing a risk to human life and property. Waves might intrude a longer distance over land areas, if the erosional activity does not decrease. As the water levels increase, the damage caused by sea storms also penetrates inland regions with successive rise in intensity. The amplitude of storms might increase, damaging a lot of property which may result in human casualties. As the volume of oceanic water grows, many low-lying regions face the possibility of getting inundated permanently. Even a few centimeters of rise in sea levels can completely drown several acres of coastal land areas. This also leads to saltwater intrusion in freshwater sources present near the coast. Such water is unfit for consumption, and cannot be used for agricultural purposes. Possible Solutions and Mitigation Measures
Building tall walls and similar structures might help reduce sea water intrusion up to a certain level, but this solution is of no help when the sea level rises drastically and even during tsunamis striking the coastal regions.
