Nonpoint source (NPS) watershed projects often fail to meet expectations for water quality
improvement because of lag time, the time elapsed between adoption of management …

The flow of terrestrial groundwater to the sea is an important natural component of the
hydrological cycle. This process, however, does not explain the large volumes of low-salinity …

First reported in the 1960s, offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) has now been
documented in most continental margins around the world. In this review we compile a …

Electrical resistivity imaging has been used in coastal settings to characterize fresh
submarine groundwater discharge and the position of the freshwater/salt-water interface …

A salt water lens is found above fresh water under the shore between Dunkerque (France)
and Nieuwpoort (Belgium). This inverse density distribution is in a dynamic equilibrium. It …

The Eastern Shore (fig. 1) includes only a small part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, but
contributes disproportionately large loads of the excess nitrogen and phosphorus that have …

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) can be an important pathway for transport of
nutrients and contaminants to estuaries. A better understanding of the geologic and …

Inadequate characterization of variability in natural tracers of submarine groundwater
discharge (SGD) introduces large errors into tracer-derived SGD estimates. To address this …

Fresh ground water is widely distributed in subsurface sediments below the coastal bays of
the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). These conditions were …

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an important gateway for nutrients and
pollutants from land to sea. While understanding SGD is crucial for managing nearshore …
