Submarine groundwater discharge experiments in India

  • 1. Planetary and Geosciences Division Physical Research Laboratory Ahmedabad (India)

Description

Salinity, DO, nitrate, phosphate and silicate along with Ra isotopes (228Ra and 226Ra) have been measured at selected sites along the east and west coast of India in order to identify potential sites for the submarine groundwater (SGD). The result of the preliminary study does not provide unequivocal evidence for SGD due to dominant influence of local pollution on the chemical parameters. The long term seasonal measurements are essential to document SGD influence. (author)
