Description

This updated and expanded edition provides a thorough understanding of the measurable properties of groundwater systems and the knowledge to apply hydrochemical, geological, isotopic, and dating approaches to their work. This volume includes question and answer discussions for key concepts presented in the text and the basic hydrological, geological, and physical parameters to be observed and measured. Chemical and Isotopic Groundwater Hydrology, Third Edition covers the chemical tools of groundwater hydrology, the isotopic composition of water and groundwater dating by tritum, carbon-14, Cl-36, and He-4, as well as the application of fossil groundwater as a paleoclimatic indicator.

Table of Contents

  • Physical and geological concepts: basic hydrological concepts
  • geological data
  • physical parameters. Chemical tools of groundwater hydrology: elements, isotopes, ions, units and errors
  • chemical parameters - data processing
  • planning hydrochemicalstudies
  • chemical parameters - field work. Isotopic tools of groundwater hydrology: water identification and dating

  • sustainable development of groundwater, urban and statewide management
  • Water quality standards, monitoring, efficient databanks and education activities
  • oceans - major reservoir of terrestrial water and salts. Oceans and continents - constant shifting of water and salts: interstitial waters beneath the oceans - common marine facies and occasional epicontinental brine-taggedfacies
  • salt and gypsum deposits within sedimentary basins disclose large-scale evaporitic paleo-systems and storage in isolated rock-compartments. Deep groundwater systems - formation water: brine-tagged meteoric formation waters are dominant withinsedimentary basins and rift valleys, ruling out basin-wide through-flow
  • isotopic dating within the wide age range of formation waters
  • brine-tagged meteoric formation waters are common also in crystalline shields - geological conclusions and relevance tonuclear waste repositories
  • petroleum deposits elucidated by associated formation waters. Petroleum hydrology - petroleum formation environments high-lighted by the associated formation waters
  • petroleum formation environments high-lighted by rockcharacteristics
  • the pressure-cooker model of petroleum formation in closed compartments and discussion of related paradigms
  • formation waters and petroleum - unifying the research and exploration avenues. Warm and geothermal waters applied for recreationand energy production: warm and mineral waters
  • boiling and superheated waters
  • hydrochemists' reports
  • discussed answers.
