Characterizing Groundwater Recharge: A Comprehensive Isotopic Approach

Abstract

Quantifies water quality changes that take place during transit from surface water recharge points to groundwater production wells supplying drinking water. Reports on use of state-of-the-art isotope tracer techniques combined with low-level organic and inorganic analyses and pathogen monitoring. Tailored Collaboration partner: Alameda County Water District. Published in 2003.
