Groundwater resources in coastal aquifers constitute a main source of freshwater in
many regions around the globe. This is typically true in arid and semi-arid regions where
rainfall is scarce and infrequent and the surface water resources are almost absent. The
consequences of climate changes and global warming on the freshwater in coastal aquifers
have been investigated by several researchers over the last two decades. Due to the
expected increase in the global temperature and the associated expansion of water in
