Neutron-Activation Analysis of Natural Water Applied to Hydrogeology

摘要

The natural content of elements in water has been utilized to characterize different groundwater supplies and reveal the presence of groundwater streams.nA neutron-activation method including chemical group separation techniques has been used for the determination of trace elements.nAnalyzed water samples from three different places in northern Sweden illustrate the application to common and important hydrogeological problems, such as the quality and capacity of water supplies, the origin and existence of groundwater streams and groundwater exchange with rivers.
