Rising sea levels threaten coastal infrastructure integrity worldwide

Rising sea levels are causing coastal groundwater to ascend, making it saltier and more corrosive. This phenomenon is placing global underground infrastructure at risk, according to a new study from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. The study reveals that critical systems such as sewer lines, roadways, and building foundations are increasingly vulnerable to corrosion and structural failures.
