Abstract: A potential new freshwater resources, seafloor freshwater resources, is proposed based on the analysis of regional geologic structural and sequence stratigraphic characteristics in coastal estuarine areas. The features of the ¡°generating-moving-filtering-reservoiring-capping¡± conditions for the formation of seafloor freshwater in the areas are studied.
