Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a vital but often under‐appreciated process linking terrestrial hydrology with coastal marine systems. The dynamics of coastal aquifers, including the complex ...

About 60 percent of coastal aquifers are contaminated by seawater intrusion, a generalised phenomenon in 20 percent of cases. Experts have found viable solutions implying not so much investment, but ...

Asst. Prof. James Heiss of the Department of Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EEAS) is leading a team of researchers who are studying how powerful coastal storms affect the fresh water ...

Saline groundwater results from seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers, shifting the fresh-saline water interface upward and landward, and replaces fresh groundwater with saline groundwater. The RO ...

A study of 1,400 coastal aquifers in North America finds that most coastal aquifers are relatively unaffected by rising sea levels, but human use is draining many of them. Coastal aquifers are ...

Scientists using satellite data have found that a third of the world's largest aquifers — in places ranging from China and India to the United States — are being rapidly depleted and are seriously ...

In overexploited coastal aquifers threatened or affected by saline intrusion, managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is increasingly applied in the aim of maintaining or recovering freshwater quantity and ...

COASTAL wells could be sucking up more pollution from the ocean than we thought, according to a lab experiment showing that salt water can actively pump pollutants into neighbouring fresh water. That ...

Deep beneath the surface of Virginia’s vast, undulating coastal plain, ancient aquifers are being drained at unprecedented rates to slake the thirst of hundreds of thousands of residents and a wide ...

Beer-Sheva, Israel...March 2, 2016 -- Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have determined that saline groundwater from coastal aquifers is a better alternative water source than ...
