River deltas face several significant problems, including habitat loss due to urbanization and agriculture, which can lead to biodiversity decline. Additionally, climate change contributes to increased flooding and erosion, threatening both ecosystems and human settlements. Pollution from industrial and agricultural runoff further degrades water quality, impacting aquatic life and local communities. Lastly, rising sea levels pose a serious risk, potentially submerging low-lying delta regions.
There are many types of deltas: River-dominated deltas - Mississippi. Wave-dominated deltas - Nile. Tide-dominated deltas - Ganges.

No, there are no rivers in Ireland with deltas. Deltas are typically formed at the mouths of large rivers where they meet the sea, but Ireland's rivers do not have the necessary conditions for delta formation.
