Book description
Tracers in Hydrology and Water Research
is a comprehensive overview of the application of natural and
artificial tracers in hydrology and environmental research. Taking a
unique approach by providing the reader with a systematic and state of
the art description of natural and
artificial tracers, the book also covers key analytical techniques and
applications, and modern tracer methods in the context of systematic
hydrology. Tracers have become a primary tool for process investigation,
qualitative and quantitative system analysis and integrated resource
management. This book will outline the fundamentals of the subject, and
examine the latest research findings, clearly showing the entire process
of tracer application through the inclusion of numerous integrated case
studies.
As many techniques derive from different scientific
disciplines (chemistry, biology, physics), the effort of compilation
and integration into modern hydrology and environmental science
research and application requires substantial continuity and
experience, which certifies this group of authors.
This book will be an invaluable reference not only for students and
researchers within the field of Hydrology and Hydrogeology but also
for engineers and other tracer techniques applying users.
