EPSCoR Project WiCCED sponsored the USGS to survey the Delaware Bay Area for data to improve understanding of groundwater salinity and below-ground geology. 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.  To learn more, click link here for the USGS media alert and click link here to hear from our very own Dr. Holly Michael, Director of the Delaware Environmental Institute and PW Research Lead, talk about the  project.
