The United States is on the edge. Even though
less than 10 percent of U.S. land is comprised of shoreline, 39 percent
(123.3 million) people live in coastal shoreline counties. And that doesn’t include the 52 percent (another
163.8 million) people who live in coastal watershed counties. According
to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), those numbers are projected to move up by 10 million more people by 2020.
Our shoreline and watershed counties are centers of economic
growth and ecosystem dependence. Recreational and commercial activities put a
strain on already-taxed freshwater resources. These same counties depend upon
groundwater and aquifers for clean, potable water.
Seawater intrusion challenges our economy and lifestyle as
we know it. The movement of ocean water into fresh groundwater causes not only
salt contamination but forces other pollutants to “surface” as well.
Attribute the process
and possible answers to chemistry and physics
Lower aquifer levels
= slower groundwater flow = seawater intrusion
Pumping of
groundwater = upconing of surrounding area = seawater intrusion
...AND IF SEAWATER
INTRUDES, SO CAN OTHER CHEMICALS AND BIOLOGICS
Leave the big picture to the chemists to find ways to monitor
ion ratios and harmful isotope levels and to the engineers to find ways to promote
water-level recovery and desalinate on an über-commercial scale.
