Bibliography on the occurrence and intrusion of saltwater in aquifers along the Atlantic Coast of the United States

Abstract

Freshwater aquifers along the Atlantic coast of the United States are vulnerable to the intrusion of saltwater from saline waters that bound the aquifers along their seaward margins. Incidences of saltwater intrusion have been documented along the Atlantic coast for more than 100 years. This report provides a bibliography of published litera ture relating to the occurrence and intrusion of saltwater along the Atlantic coast of the United States, including all of the coastal States from Maine to Florida (including the coast of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico). The bibliography con tains 549 references that date from 1896 to 2001. The bibliography contains references to books, journal articles, and government and other techni cal reports and maps that could be readily obtained through a scientific library. Conference papers and abstracts, unpublished manuscripts, publications in press, newspaper articles, consulting reports, and reports prepared by local or regional water companies or water districts are omitted from the bibliography. BIBLIOGRAPHY The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by State and then alphabetically by principal author; where more than one publication by the same author (or authors) is listed, the references are in chronologi cal order. A "Regional Studies" section is provided before the State listings that includes references to reports that discuss the occurrence and intrusion of saltwater within three or more States. Reports that con tain information for two States are listed for each of those States. Bibliographies are provided for Connecti cut,

Groundwater-quality data and regional trends in the Virginia Coastal Plain, 1906-2007

“…Because upconing can result from displacement of relatively small volumes of water, it is generally regarded as a more prevalent cause of increasing concentrations of chloride in groundwater than intrusion. Barlow and Wild (2002) reviewed movement of the saltwater-transition zone throughout the Atlantic Coastal Plain that has been documented for more than 100 years and which varies widely in form and degree under different hydrogeologic conditions. Although in general only small parts of aquifers have been affected by saltwater intrusion, some more widespread instances have also occurred.…”

Ground water in freshwater-saltwater environments of the Atlantic Coast

“…Saltwater intrusion has been documented throughout the Atlantic coastal zone for more than 100 years (Barlow and Wild, 2002), but the degree of saltwater intrusion varies widely among localities and hydrogeologic settings. In many instances, the area contaminated by saltwater is limited to small parts of the aquifer…”

Regional chloride distribution in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system from Long Island, New York, to North Carolina

“…Published data, interpretations, and hypotheses that were directly relevant to the interpretations in this report, range from the local scale (county or municipality) to the state scale and to the regional scale; the reports were published from 1913 to 2015. For a comprehensive bibliography of reports on the presence of chloride and saltwater in groundwater along the Atlantic Coast, organized by state, see Barlow and Wild (2002). Selected summaries of freshwater-saltwater issues along the Atlantic Coast that illustrate cases and concepts directly relevant to this study are presented in Barlow (2003).…”
