مساهمة في دراسة الينابيع تحت البحرية في الساحل السوري

This research contains the quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the submarine springs in the Syrian Coast. The evaluation is carried out by making investigations and marine measurements of these springs, combined with measurements of the groundwater levels in the monitored wells, drilled in the cretaceous confined aquifer. This aquifer flows out into the sea without being exploited as submarine springs, according to the tectonic structure. The flow velocity of the submarine springs water is between 0,11-0,26 m/sec, and its discharges are , according to the differences involving density, hydraulic head, and flow velocity of the springs and sea water. The springs' water is mixed with the sea water on the surface, to form groundwater: 20 to 90% fresh water contents, according to the geological setting as well as climate and sea conditions.
