The USGS conducted an Airborne Electromagnetic Survey of subsurface conditions under and around the Delaware Bay. The data collected will improve scientists understanding of groundwater salinity as climate change, coastal storms, and growing groundwater demands increase the risk of saltwater impacting water supplies in the region.

The USGS conducted an aerial electromagnetic survey of the Delaware Bay to collect data on groundwater salinity. Rising sea level, increasing frequency and intensity of coastal storms, and increasing demand for groundwater have amplified the risk of saltwater impacting water supplies in the region.
