Promising methods for detecting submarine groundwater discharge in the Baltic Sea and experience of their application
... typically occurs in coastal areas and is defined as the underwater inflow of fresh and brackish groundwater from the continent to the sea. The discharge of waters with a composition sharply different from seawater leads to the formation of hydrochemical anomalies in the near-bottom horizon and alters the composition of bottom sediments. Under different regional conditions, discharge can occur as a focused flow through cracks in karst and fissured rocks, as a diffuse flow in loose deposits, or through ...
