Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) delivers nutrients to the coastal sea triggering phytoplankton blooms, eutrophication, and can also serve as a pathway for contaminants. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) including injection wells in coastal areas influence coastal aquifers and might impact the composition and magnitude of SGD fluxes. In tourist areas, wastewater treatment may be less efficient and larger in volume during high seasons, potentially impacting nutrient fluxes from SGD and exacerbating environmental impacts.

- Groundwater discharge into Arctic lakes significantly contributes to methane (CH) emissions, linking thawing permafrost to the atmosphere.
- The dynamics and spatial variability of groundwater CH inputs are not well understood, but factors like lake depth and wetland cover play a role.
- Understanding these patterns is crucial as rising temperatures and permafrost thawing may increase CH emissions from these lakes in the warming Arctic.
Mining impacts on coastal environments have been extensively studied around the world. However, the role of Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) and Porewater Exchange (PEX) as pathways for pollutants from mining waste deposits into seawater has been largely overlooked. Portmán Bay is located in the Cartagena-La Unión Pb-Zn sulphur mining district in Murcia, SE of Spain.
