Abstract
Water flows from the land to the sea in rivers - that is the classroom picture that seems too self–evident to question. But there is evidence that a comparable amount may flow underground directly into coastal waters.

Data are presented indicating that in the Perth region of Western Australia, submarine groundwater discharge delivers several times as much pollution to coastal waters as does river runoff.

The total water exchange through part of the West Atlantic shelf is computed and the influence of the phenomenon is discussed from a biological point of view and with regard to its importance for the world's oceans.

Pore fluid studies showed that relatively fresh to brackish water occurs beneath much of the Atlantic continental shelf, whereas increases in salinity off Georgla and beneath the Florida-Hatteras slope suggest buried evaporitic strata.
