Ocean coastal zones are eutrophicated by fertilizer loading from agricultural activity. Contaminant loading occurs not only from rivers but also from groundwater. Recent studies have found that patterns of seaweed growth in groundwater discharge areas differ from those in other areas. We studied the behavior of groundwater discharged from the sea bottom into ocean currents by both conducting a hydraulics experiment to simulate groundwater discharge, and mathematically modeling the rising trajectory of water discharged with low velocity into a constant horizontal background flow. Both approaches showed that, due to turbulence of the horizontal background flow, low velocity discharged water flows first along the sea bottom, then follows a gently rising trajectory. This result is helpful to know the influence of submarine groundwater discharge on marine ecosystem.
