    Sea level rise undermines SDG2 and SDG6 in Pantai Acheh, Penang, Malaysia
    (Springer, 2021) Xin Yi Kh’ng; Su Yean Teh; Hock Lye Koh; Shuhaida Shuib
    For coastal communities living in low elevation Pantai Acheh of Penang, Malaysia, salinization of groundwater caused by sea level rise (SLR) could pose a daunting challenge to water supply and crop cultivation, thereby undermining local water security (SDG6) and food security (SDG2). Modelling analysis using MANTRA was performed to examine the sustainability of coastal groundwater and vegetation in Pantai Acheh in response to SLR. MANTRA was developed by linking two United States Geological Survey (USGS) simulation models known as MANHAM and SUTRA.
