Purpose

This data was collected as part of a study on trends in tidal freshwater swamps experiencing saltwater intrusion. As sea-levels rises, these freshwater wetlands are subjected to increased salinity exposure from surface and groundwater sources. The dataset provides groundwater properties from a well located in a coastal wetland environment to assist with understanding the tidal freshwater swamp trends.
