Description / Table of Contents:
Environmental tracers in subsurface hydrology synthesizes the research of specialists into a comprehensive review of the application of environmental tracers in the study of soil water and groundwater flow. The book includes chapters which cover ionic tracers, noble gases, chlorofluorocarbons, tritium, chlorine-36, oxygen-18, deuterium, and isotopes of carbon, strontium, sulphur and nitrogen. Applications of the tracers include the estimation of vertical and horizontal groundwater velocities, groundwater recharge rates, inter-aquifer leakage and mixing processes, chemical processes and palaeohydrology. Practicing hydrogeologists, soil physicists and hydrology professors and students will find the book to be a valuable support in their work.
