When developing nature-based solutions, understanding the system at hand is crucial. Within SALTISolutions, WP 7.1 addresses the development of nature-based solutions to mitigate salt intrusion; and therefore, an extensive sensitivity analysis has been executed focusing on which system-level parameters are governing the salt intrusion length in an estuary. Part of the output is an easy-accessible neural network, which is a quick tool to estimate salt intrusion in estuaries ranging from well-mixed to salt wedge types. This neural network is branded ANNESI – an Artificial Neural Network for Estuarine Salt Intrusion – and is open-source: https://doi.org/10.4121/19307693.
