Seawater will infiltrate underground freshwater supplies in about three of every four coastal areas around the world by the year 2100, according to a recent study led by researchers at NASA's Jet ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have determined that saline groundwater from coastal aquifers is a better alternative water source than seawater for reverse osmosis (RO) ...

The groundwater in Southern California and most other coastal areas will likely be tainted by saltwater as sea levels rise due to climate change, according to a new study led by researchers at the ...

Saltwater intrusion occurs when denser marine waters encroach upon freshwater in coastal aquifers, driven by variables such as sea-level rise, excessive groundwater pumping and reduced recharge. This ...

By pumping freshwater directly into salty coastal aquifers, scientists have successfully created temporary underground ...

Submarine groundwater discharge is a process by which water exits coastal aquifers and enters the ocean. This can be terrestrial freshwater or salty seawater that intruded into the porous aquifer at ...

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 ...

The water that pours out of your tap, or that’s unnecessarily packaged in a single-use bottle, or that helped grow the produce in your fridge—all of it may well have come from aquifers somewhere.

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 new study showed that while precipitation and sea level drive coastal groundwater levels, it is sea level, especially tides, that play gatekeeper on the amount of groundwater discharging to ...
