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 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. Defining the field of marine hydrogeology as a science that studies submarine groundwater, its properties, circulation, and distribution, the bookprovides a framework for assessing methods and making the best choice.
