Salinity: The percentage of salt in water.
Salt Water Intrusion: The invasion of fresh surface or ground water by salt water. If it comes from the ocean it may be called sea water intrusion.
Salinity: Amount of dissolved salts in a given volume of water.
Saltwater intrusion: The invasion of fresh surface water or groundwater by saltwater.
salinity soil
The amount of soluble salts in a soil, expressed in terms of percentage, parts per million or other convenient ratios.
salinization ...
salinity wedge 1) The movement of subsurface saline water into an aquifer or in an estuary. 2) Of a body of sea water under the fresh water.
salmoid Of or related to salmon, trout, char, and allied freshwater and anadromous fishes.
SALINITY: Generally, the concentration of mineral salts dissolved in water. Salinity may be measured by weight (total dissolved solids - TDS), electrical conductivity, or osmotic pressure.
Salinity: refers here to the concentration of salt in the water
Salp: barrel-shaped pelagic tunicates belonging to the classes Thaliacea and Larvacea.
Salinity The presence of soluble minerals in water.
Sand filtration Sand filtration is a frequently used and very robust method to remove suspended solids from water.
Salinity: quality of water based on its salt content; seawater contains approximately 18,000 parts per million of salt.
salinity
(1) the relative concentration of salts, usually sodium chloride, in a given water. It is usually expressed in terms of the number of ppm of chloride. (2) a measure of the concentration of dissolved mineral substances in water.

salinity
The amount of dissolved salts in water, generally expressed in parts per thousand (ppt).

salinity. 1)The relative concentration of dissolved salts, usually sodium chloride, in a given water.. 2) A measure of the concentration of dissolved mineral substances in water.
sand. Soil particles between 0.05 and 2 .0 mm in diameter.
Salinity
The total mass of salts dissolved in seawater per unit mass of water; generally expressed in parts per thousands (ppt).
Having a salinity between that of fresh and sea water.
Brackish Ice
Ice formed from brackish water.
salinity The relative concentration of dissolved salts in water. saturated zone The area below the water table where all open spaces are filled with water. Compare unsaturated zone.

Other scientists believe that the increase in severe hurricanes over the past decade is due to natural salinity and temperature changes deep in the Atlantic"part of a natural environmental cycle that shifts back and forth every 40-60 years.
Halocline - In the oceans, a well-defined vertical gradient of salinity. [Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers; v52; p1988; 2005.] ...
When present in water, it can indicate salinity and alkalinity. Contributes to hard water when present in high concentrations. It is an essential nutrient for animals and humans. Not generally considered toxic.
Encourage students to suggest additional factors that influence ocean levels such as movement of the ocean floor, evaporation, subsidence, run off from snow melt, changes in currents, salinity levels and so on.
Red tide seems to be a natural environmental phenomenon not caused by human activities. When temperature, salinity and nutrients reach a certain level a massive increase in red tide algae occurs.
Leachate
liquid that has percolated through a solid mass; soil leachate may be high in nitrate; landfill leachate may be high in BOD, ammonia, salinity and toxic substances ...
Total Dissolved Solids: All material that passes the standard glass river filter; now called total filterable residue. Term is used to reflect salinity.
All nontidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergent vegetation, emergent mosses or lichens, and all such wetlands that occurs in tidal areas where salinity due to ocean-derived salts is below 5 ppt.
This salinity of the sea is relatively constant over all oceans, supporting the observation that the various oceans mix. The annual flow of rivers into the oceans represents about 40,000 cubic kilometres of water.
