Abstract

During the past century, anthropogenic forces changed the composition of water in coastal aquifers. These changes were brought about by excessive mining of coastal groundwater, dredging and pier construction, wetland draining, and hard surface expansion. These forces caused an increase of salinity in the subterranean estuary, which led to a series of biogeochemical reactions. These changes continue today.
