 Monitoring Saltwater Intrusion with Robowell at Provincetown Mass.
A Robowell prototype is being put in place to monitor salt-water intrusion in cooperation with the Provincetown Water Department, the USGS Technology Enterprise Office, and the USGS MA-RI Water Science Center Project for Analysis of Water Resources in the Lower Cape Cod Aquifer System.
Saltwater intrusion is most commonly caused by ground-water pumping near the coast and the resulting high salinity can make ground water unfit for public consumption (Barlow, 2000).
The effect of increased water demand is exacerbated by the annual hydrologic cycle in Southeastern Massachusetts where over 75 percent of recharge occurs in the winter months and water use by plants, and people intercept recharge and draw water tables down to relatively low levels in the summer months (Granato and others, 1995).

 Monitoring Saltwater Intrusion with Robowell at Provincetown Mass.
Increased land development and population growth have created concerns regarding both the quantity and the quality of ground water that is used for drinking water and that which discharges to surface water bodies of Lower Cape Cod.
In addition, increases in development will increase the amount of non-point source contamination in the aquifer which may limit potential locations for future water supply and may have a long-term impact on nutrient loading to freshwater streams and ponds and saltwater harbors and embayments.
Public-water supply is the primary source of drinking water for the communities in the Monomoy Lens portion of Lower Cape Cod (Brewster, Chatham, Harwich, and Orleans), the Town of Provincetown and portions of the Town of Truro.
