Estimation of recharge rates to the sand and gravel aquifer using environmental tritium, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts
Jayne Fifield Knott, Julio C. Olimpio
1986, Water Supply Paper 2297
Estimation of the average annual rate of ground-water recharge to sand and gravel aquifers using elevated tritium concentrations in ground water is an alternative to traditional steady-state and water-balance recharge-rate methods. The concept of the tritium tracer method is that the average annual rate of ground-water recharge over a period...
