May be a source of fresh water for southern California farmers?

I love it-- absolutely no mention of HM. Ahhhhhhh. Interesting, too.

[Bigg Red]

Quite interesting.

[solitas]

Possibly Pingworthy? (considering the first paragraph)

[Graymatter]

ping for ancient trade, technology and general getalong

[struggle]

Oh, nevermind.

There are a couple of almost bottomless holes of fresh water near Santa Rosa, New Mexico and there is rumors that the bodies of some who drowned in those holes were a long time later recovered from the Gulf of Mexico.

No refrences to post and I no longer remember who said it, but I did hear it once upon a time.

This is new knowledge...?

We have been taping aquifers for generations, it is a new revelation that some coastal aquifers exit to the sea.

There are rivers that run totally underground from Michigan to Kentucky, I used to have eyeless fish from one of those rivers in my tank. They were boring, they used to bump into my guppies and the rocks all the time.

White goldfish with no eyes... I fed them to my oscars.

.... seafloor seepage is important. "It's about time," he notes.

No it's not. It's also not been sucking cash out of our pockets to feed the brain of a lonely scientists' quest for glory either, thank you very much.

The reason Florida is the hot spot for this reasearch is that the entire state sits on a fresh water aquifer and the flows and directions of these have been charted, tested and controlled for the past 65 years. The quest for tax dollars to fund research always kicks off with a pointless argument, adds nice pictures and points to a mystery. But this isn't reasearch to find or create fresh drinking water or suck water from where it doesn't exist. It looks like it's just reasearch for the sake of research.

Interesting. From the sounds of the water coming into the hole for our sump pumps, I think we have a river under our house right now.
