Abstract Freshwater salinization is an emerging global problem impacting safe drinking water, ecosystem health and biodiversity, infrastructure corrosion, food production. originates from diverse anthropogenic geologic sources including road salts, human-accelerated weathering, sewage, urban construction, fertilizer, mine drainage, resource extraction, water softeners, saltwater intrusion, evaporative concentration of ions due to hydrologic alterations climate change. The complex interrelationships between salt chemical, biological, parameters consequences on the natural, social, built environment are called Salinization Syndrome (FSS). Here, we provide a comprehensive overview issues (past, present, future), investigate drivers solutions. We analyze expanding magnitude scope FSS its discovery in humid regions, connections weathering mobilization ‘chemical cocktails.’ also present data illustrating: (1) increasing trends ion concentrations some world’s major freshwaters, critical supplies; (2) decreasing nutrient rivers regulations but salinization, which have been lack adequate management regulations; (3) regional atmospheric deposition storage soils groundwater, (4) applications specific conductance as proxy for tracking groups elements freshwaters. prioritize research needs related better understanding: effects intrusion processes, potential risks groundwater contamination home wells, clean sources, economic safety impacts (5) alteration biodiversity functions, (6) application high-frequency sensors state-of-the art monitoring management. evaluate solutions using watershed approach spanning air, land, explore variations fate transport different ( e.g. ions, stormwater management, remediation, managing runoff). identify tradeoffs approaches such unanticipated retention release chemical cocktails best practices (BMPs) unintended alternative deicers quality. Overall, show that has direct indirect metals, nutrients, organics, radionuclides freshwaters with mounting impacts. Our review suggests what could happen if were not managed into future evaluates strategies reducing human health, costly infrastructure, services.
