Climate Change, Groundwater Salinization and Road Maintenance Costs in Coastal Bangladesh

Climate Change, Groundwater Salinization and Road Maintenance Costs in Coastal Bangladesh

The potentially-adverse impact of salinity on paved roads is well-established in the engineering literature. The problem seems destined to grow, as climate-related changes in sea level and riverine flows drive future increases in groundwater salini...
