Using environmental tracers to estimate recharge through an arid basin
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6985439
Multiple tracer techniques were used to estimate recharge rates through unsaturated alluvium beneath the Greater Confinement Disposal site, a waste disposal site located in Frenchman Flat, on the Nevada Test Site. Three tracers of soil water movement -- meteoric chloride, stable isotopes of water, and cosmogenic chlorine-36 -- yielded consistent results indicating that recharge rates were negligible for the purpose of performance assessment at the site.
