Satellite images show Egyptian farmland being extended into the Sahara Desert in response to urbanization and saltwater intrusion. But now much of that new farmland is being decommissioned and reverting to desert. Learn more at the link in our bio.

#FYI
“Saltwater intrusion” is when ocean saltwater mixes underground with fresh groundwater along the coast, which can impair fresh water for drinking or irrigation. Excessive groundwater pumping and sea level rise can both contribute to saltwater intrusion.
