Disregarding such temporal considerations has previously been underlined as an important source of uncertainty, but a growing number of approaches have been developed to tackle this issue. Nevertheless, their adoption by LCA practitioners is still uncommon, which raises concerns about the representativeness of current LCA results. Furthermore, a lack of consistency can be observed in the used terms for discussions on temporal considerations. The purpose of this review is thus to search for common ground and to identify the current implementation challenges while also proposing development pathways. This paper introduces a glossary of the most frequently used terms related to temporal considerations in LCA to build a common understanding of key concepts and to facilitate discussions. A review is also performed on current solutions for and the increased value of results from DLCAs should be kept in mind.As an important part of the water cycle, the hydrologic process and chemical compositions of groundwater have changed significantly due to the joint influence of climate change and human activities. Groundwater salinization becomes a serious threat to water security in coastal areas. In order to assess the relationships between surface water, groundwater and seawater in the coastal plain, we performed a synthesis study based on hydrochemical-isotopic data, hydro-dynamical records and environmental tracers. Deuterium and oxygen isotopes and water chemical indicators were used to identify pollution status, salt sources and migration processes. Radioactive isotopes and gaseous tracers were used to obtain reasonable groundwater age. With the help of multi-tracer approach, the surface-groundwater interaction, salinization of groundwater and nitr
