Italy's salty Po Delta hurting agriculture, fisheries

Summary by Ground News

At least one-third of the stock of prized double-valve clams raised in the Po Delta have died off. Plants along the banks of the Po River are wilting as they drink in water from increasingly salty aquifers and secondary waterways. Inland penetration of saltwater has increased from two kilometers (just over a mile) in the 1960s to an astounding 38 kilometers (nearly 24 miles) this year.
