Tracers in Hydrology and Water Research is a comprehensiveoverview of the application of natural and artificial tracers inhydrology and environmental research. Taking a unique approach byproviding the reader with a systematic and state of the artdescription of natural and artificial tracers, the book alsocovers key analytical techniques and applications, and moderntracer methods in the context of systematic hydrology. Tracers havebecome a primary tool for process investigation, qualitative andquantitative system analysis and integrated resource management.This book will outline the fundamentals of the subject, and examinethe latest research findings, clearly showing the entire process oftracer application through the inclusion of numerous integratedcase studies.
As many techniques derive from different scientific disciplines(chemistry, biology, physics), the effort of compilation andintegration into modern hydrology and environmental scienceresearch and application requires substantial continuity andexperience, which certifies this group of authors.
This book will be an invaluable reference not only for studentsand researchers within the field of Hydrology and Hydrogeology butalso for engineers and other tracer techniques applying users.
