WATER MIGRATION IN COVERED WASTE ROCK, INVESTIGATIONS USING DEUTERIUM AS A TRACER

Deuterium as a food source tracer: Sensitivity to environmental water, lipid content, and hydrogen exchange

Hydrogen stable isotopes (dH) are used for quantifying resources supporting food webs. However, application of dH in mixing models requires; (1) correction for environmental water (x) in consumer tissues, (2) consideration of differential fractionation among biochemical constituents, and (3) consideration of differential H-exchange among samples and standards. We present data and sensitivity an...

The total body water and the water turnover in pregnancy studied with deuterium oxide as isotopic tracer.

Residence Times in a Hypersaline Creek: Using Salinity as a Tracer

Spatial measurements of conductivity, temperature and depth were used to study salinity variations along the principal channels of the tidal hypersaline creek network in the vicinity of Bushehr Port, Persian Gulf during three 25- tidal cycles in both warm and cold months. Salinity variations and tidal fluctuations were out of phase throughout the short inverse estuary. The salinity values in...

Heat as a ground water tracer.

Heat carried by ground water serves as a tracer to identify surface water infiltration, flow through fractures, and flow patterns in ground water basins. Temperature measurements can be analyzed for recharge and discharge rates, the effects of surface warming, interchange with surface water, hydraulic conductivity of streambed sediments, and basin-scale permeability. Temperature data are also u...
