Using helium-4, tritium, carbon-14 and other hydrogeochemical evidence to evaluate the groundwater age distribution: The case of the Neogene aquifer, Belgium

Apparent groundwater age dating has been proven useful and robust in understanding water origin and mixing processes, particularly when multiple tracers are considered. However, even though now extensively used, the age tracers have not been widely applied in the general practice of flow and transport model calibration. A multi tracer-study was carried out in the Neogene aquifer in Flanders to quantify the apparent age and construct a joint interpretation for the delineation of different groundwater flow systems. This understanding is critical as part of the safety and feasibility studies for... Mehr ...
