Celebrating 50 years of SWIMs (Salt Water Intrusion Meetings)
The year 2018 marked half a century since the first SWIM (Salt Water Intrusion Meeting) was held in Germany. This was celebrated (i) during the 25th SWIM in Gdańsk, Poland (17-22 June 2018), covering topics like seawater intrusion, coastal groundwater management and submarine groundwater discharge, and (ii) with a topical collection of four articles in Hydrogeology Journal that focus on past achievements of the SWIM and coastal hydrogeology more broadly. The journal collection contains annotated English translations of the pioneer articles by W. Badon Ghijben (1889) and Alexander Herzberg (1901), and explores what was known about freshwater lenses in coastal aquifers before their day.
