Tracing Technique in Geohydrology

<p>This translation of the original German textbook, <em>Hydrogeologie</em>, summarizes tracing techniques. Individual chapters have been contributed by relevant experts from geology, hydrology, chemistry and virology, and engineering and isotope specialists. Text contributions are complemented by numerous figures. A cd rom will assist in the evaluation and presentation of data from tracing tests.</p> Prefaces, 1 Introduction. 2 Tracers, Dyes, Salts, Surfactants, aromas, and other chemicals, Radioactive and activable isotopes, Club Moss Spores, Fluorescent Microspheres, Bacteria, Phages, Geobombs, Other Drift Particles, Environmental isotopes, Environmental Chemicals, Environmental Organisms, Physical Environmental Effects. 3 Preparation and Realisation of Tracing Tests, Preliminary surveys and preparations, Test preparation, Tracing Procedure, Sample Analysis, Documentation of Tracing tests, Presentation of Results. 4 Evaluation and Interpretation of Tracing Tests, Physical Fundamentals of solute transport underground, Solute transport and geochemical reactions, Evaluation of breakthrough curves,TRACI, Radiohydromentical single-well-methods. 5 Practical Examples of Applications and Interpretations, Unsaturated zone, Karst groundwater, Fissured aquifers, Porous groundwater, Investigations on river bank infiltration, Deep Waters, Glaciers, Surface Water, Engineering, Partitioning tracing.
