What is Salinity Problems in Groundwater and Management Strategies in Arid and Semi‐arid Regions about?

Salinity is a major social, economic, and environmental menace in climates with low rainfall and high evapotranspiration (Jabbar and Chen 2008; Abuelgasim and Ammad 2018). In general, the surface water supply in arid and semi-arid climates is scarce, which shifts the attention of policymakers to groundwater. Groundwater in these regions is very limited and considered a major resource for sustaining terrestrial ecosystems (Balaji et al. 2019a, b; ). In addition, intense urbanisation, demand for freshwater due to an increase in population, and poor management strategies have generated additional stress to this limited resource which leads to lowering groundwater levels Nagaraju et al. 2016). Therefore, people dig bore wells to great depths for groundwater that are basically rich in soluble salts ; Akinlalu and Afolabi 2018). Among complex environmental issues such as droughts, heavy blowing winds, heatwaves, and floods, salinity is also a major issue. It turns soils and irrigated land more saline, which impairs crop growth and leads to low production and land degradation (Shrivastava and Kumar 2015). Moreover, salinity is a serious public health concern and its consequences are seen
