In page Coastal flooding:

"

Prolonged inundation of seawater after flooding can also cause salination of agriculturally productive soils thus resulting in a loss of productivity for long periods of time.[7][3] The effects of the soil salinization, which is brought on by sea levels rising and differed precipitation patterns, impacts agricultural production, ultimately leading towards food and water shortages.[citation needed] Food crops and forests can be completely killed off by salination of soils or wiped out by the movement of floodwaters.[2] Coastal freshwater bodies including lakes, lagoons, and coastal freshwater aquifers can also be affected by saltwater intrusion.[1][2][4] This can destroy these water bodies as habitats for freshwater organisms and sources of drinking water for towns and cities.[2][4]
