Clark, Peter Fritz Klappentext Groundwater is an increasingly important resource to human populations around the world, and the study and protection of groundwater is an essential part of hydrogeology - the subset of hydrology that concentrates on the subsurface. Environmental isotopes, naturally occurring nuclides in water and solutes, have become fundamental tools for tracing the recharge, history, and contamination of groundwater. Zusammenfassung Focuses on environmental isotopes in hydrogeology. This book explains the theoretical basis of the methods, demonstrates how to apply them, and illustrates key points with practical case studies and problem sets. It includes more than 100 figures, references, and a comprehensive subject index for access to specific topics.
