Abstract The coastal aquifer of the northeastern Yucatan peninsula is a mixing zone where freshwater from the platform interior mixes with seawater and saline groundwater to form new brackish solutions. The brackish solutions may form stable flows that move seaward through the aquifer as discrete water parcels. These flows frequently have lowered pH, may be undersaturated with respect to calcite, and may produce significant regional-scale porosity changes due to mixing corrosion.
