Hydromorphological monitoring generally relies on series of elements such as assessment of quantity and dynamics of flow, connections to groundwater, continuity, channel patterns, width/depth variations, substrate conditions, structure and condition of the riparian zone in the case of rivers, residence time, lake depth variation, tidal flow regime, substrate condition and structure and condition of the intertidal zone, freshwater flow regime and direction and speed of dominant currents for transition/coastal waters.

While the sharp-interface approach is useful for conceptualizing flow at the coast, particularly in large-scale problems, the reality is more complex. Not only does the saline groundwater flow but also a zone of intermediate salinity extends between the fresh and saline end members, establishing what many refer to as a subterranean estuary . Like their surface water counterparts, these zones are hotbeds of chemical reactions. Because the water in the interface zone ultimately discharges into coastal waters, the flow and chemical dynamics within the zone are critically important to understand. Research into these issues has only just begun. 

Despite the role of phosphorus as one vital nutrient, the distributions and dynamics of marine phosphorus pools are less well characterized in comparison with those of the bioelements carbon and nitrogen (Suzumura and Ingall, 2004). Phosphorus is the key element for phytoplankton growth and one of the factors in coastal estuarine and seawater eutrophication. Recently, phosphorus has been observed to limit phytoplankton production in both coastal waters and the open sea.
