Groundwater Tracing in Water Pollution Studies
Tom Aley

Abstract

Groundwater tracing has been a valuable tool for water pollution investigations in soluble rock terrains. Tracing can directly demonstrate that water (and a pollutant) moves from point to point. Tracing data are understandable to the public and regulatory agencies. Groundwater tracing provides an indicator of underground travel rates and distances. Tracer tests must be properly planned and executed to insure proper results.
