Optimizing stormwater harvesting in coastal areas requires special considerations due to unique challenges such as saltwater intrusion and sea-level rise. Recommendations include selecting corrosion-resistant materials for infrastructure, implementing advanced filtration systems to address saltwater contamination, and designing storage facilities with rising sea levels in mind.
Coastal vegetation choices should be salt-tolerant, and integration with existing coastal management strategies is essential. Regular monitoring and adaptation to changing coastal conditions are crucial. Collaboration with local authorities, environmental agencies, and community stakeholders can ensure the effectiveness of stormwater harvesting in coastal regions, contributing to water resilience and sustainable practices in the face of specific coastal challenges.
