Book Synopsis
The book effectively demonstrates, through practical case studies, the potential of isotope techniques in the development and management of water resources. It commences with a detailed description of the unique characteristics of isotopes and their utility as tracers in various stages of the hydrological cycle. The book encompasses the application of both environmental isotopes and injected tracers to both surface water and groundwater bodies, as well as their interrelationships. Given the significance of identifying groundwater recharge and recharge processes, the book places particular emphasis on this aspect of isotope application in water resources. Additionally, the book explores the role of isotopes in understanding groundwater contamination caused by natural pollutants such as inland salinity, arsenic, and nitrate, with relevant examples provided.
