Sustainable management of water resources is quickly increasing in
importance on a global scale. An important piece of the puzzle is
the characterization of marine water and determining its importance
to geochemical budgets. To do this, submarine groundwater
discharges must be carefully studied. Comprehensively exploring the
subject, Submarine Groundwater presents quantitative data relating
groundwater contribution to the water/salt balance of regional and
global bodies of water.
The authors examine different data-supported methods for
studying submarine groundwater flow and discharge through case
studies contributed by leading international scientists. They
discuss the maintenance of optimal water, salt, temperature and
hydrobiological regimes of inland seas and large lakes. The book
covers subsurface water exchange between the land and sea as well
as groundwater discharge to the seas. It also provides a review of
experimental methods and numerical modeling that can be used for
the evaluation of specific discharge data and the effect of
groundwater on the salt balance of seas and oceans.
Defining the field of marine hydrogeology as a science that
studies submarine groundwater, its properties, circulation, and
distribution, Submarine Groundwater delineates the role of
quantitative assessment of subsurface water exchange between land
and sea in predicting its changes under the influence of natural
factors and human activity. It provides a framework for assessing
different methods and making the best choice for various
situations.
