The application of natural isotopes, stable as well as radioactive, has become a widespread tool for hydrological research, especially surface- and groundwater behaviour and exploration. This book explains, in a simple but mathematically, physically and chemically correct form, the consequences of natural processes to stable isotope concentrations and radioactivities. It also presents indications of possible applications without the pretention of a cookbook. After fairly theoretical introduction, the elements of the water cycle are treated successively: precipitation; surface water, including rivers and small streams, lakes and stagnant waters, estuaries and the sea; and groundwater.ISBN - 9780415381970
