  2. Saline water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

    At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3 percent by weight (% w/w). At 100 °C (212 °F) (the boiling temperature of pure water), the amount of salt that can be dissolved in one liter of water increases to about 391 grams, a concentration of 28.1% w/w.

  3. Water table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_table

    Cross section showing the water table varying with surface topography as well as a perched water table Cross-section of a hillslope depicting the vadose zone, capillary fringe, water table, and the phreatic or saturated zone. (Source: United States Geological Survey.) The water table is the upper surface of the zone of saturation.

  4. Salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity

    Salinity is an ecological factor of considerable importance, influencing the types of organisms that live in a body of water. As well, salinity influences the kinds of plants that will grow either in a water body, or on land fed by a water (or by a groundwater). [19] A plant adapted to saline conditions is called a halophyte.

  5. Seawater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawater

    The average density at the surface is 1.025 kg/L. Seawater is denser than both fresh water and pure water (density 1.0 kg/L at 4 °C (39 °F)) because the dissolved salts increase the mass by a larger proportion than the volume. The freezing point of seawater decreases as salt concentration increases.

  6. Dryland salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryland_salinity

    Recharge may also occur by saturated flow when water bypasses the soil matrix as it moves to depth in macropores (e.g. root holes, fractures). Excessive recharge may raise the water table locally, or at a landscape scale. When brackish to saline groundwater intersects the ground surface and discharges, this is termed saline discharge. Areas of ...

  7. Brine rejection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine_rejection

    The water underneath becomes saltier and colder, leading to an increase in density. This parcel of water in the Okhotsk Sea is referred to as dense shelf water (DSW). The saltier and colder a water parcel is, the denser it becomes, causing it to sink below other parcels of water. For this reason, the DSW will begin to sink within the water column.

  8. Solar pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_pond

    When water at the bottom of the pool is heated, it becomes less dense than the cooler water above it, and convection begins. Solar ponds heat water by impeding this convection. Salt is added to the water until the lower layers of water become completely saturated. High-salinity water at the bottom of the pond does not mix readily with the low ...

  9. Dense non-aqueous phase liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_Non-Aqueous_Phase_Liquid

    A dense non-aqueous phase liquid or DNAPL is a denser-than-water NAPL, i.e. a liquid that is both denser than water and is immiscible in or does not dissolve in water. [1]The term DNAPL is used primarily by environmental engineers and hydrogeologists to describe contaminants in groundwater, surface water and sediments.
