Well, I can't read this because of the academic publishing hegemony. But it reminds me of something interesting I learned recently which is probably related – the concept of saltwater intrusion into aquifers as a result of groundwater pumping in coastal areas.
The density of saline water relative to fresh water makes this a somewhat interesting phenomenon (though of course not for the people who depend on fresh water in their aquifer).

- gwern 3y agoIt probably won't be for a long time because SH does this weird thing where they shut down uploads/new papers for a while during some Indian court case, apparently. If you are looking for a paper within the past year and it's not there in SH, don't bother checking back for a while.
- CuriousCosmic 3y agoHonestly nowadays the Standard Template Construct (an IPFS based, decentralised SciHub) is a better choice than SciHub. You just search the article with an IPFS node running and if it comes up, you can pull it down. If not, if you upload it people will mirror it.

- euroderf 3y agoLong Island stopped dumping all wastewater to sea and started injecting it into the ground. This was decades ago IIRC.
- nrml_amnt 3y agoThis is only done by small tertiary plants. Long Island sound receives up to 1000mgd (1 billion gallons per day) of wastewater plant effluent.
