Objectives
The aim of this study is to unravel the impact of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Co and Cr) and trace elements (Fe, Ba, Sr and U) in coastal water from Tolo Harbour. It will be first study to quantify the heavy metals content of submarine groundwater and to examine the impact of the discharge of this element on their coastal cycles.
