ABSTRACT: The flow of terrestrial groundwater towards the sea is an important natural component of the hydrological cycle (Church, 1996). Hydrological studies have shown that land derived fresh groundwater may discharge through the sea floor through a process known as submarine groundwater discharge (SGD, Taniguchi et al., 2002). Many studies have highlighted the ubiquitous occurrence on the near-shore environm...

Desde meados da década de 1960, que o sistema multiaquífero Cretácico de Aveiro é intensamente explorado, o que conduziu gradualmente a uma acentuada depressão dos níveis piezométricos regionais. Este facto, porque tem lugar num aquífero costeiro e com uma limitada recarga natural, contribui para aumentar o risco de deterioração da qualidade da água subterrânea, quer por fenómenos de intrusão marinha, quer por ...
