| Abstract: | Isotope techniques are effective tools for satisfying
critical hydrologic information needs like the origin of groundwater, recharge,
residence time, impact of climate change on water resources, interconnections
between water bodies, among others. Isotopes provide information that sometimes
could not be obtained by other techniques. Stable and radioactive environmental
isotopes have now been used for more than four
decades to study various aspects of hydrological systems.
Stable isotopes are very useful tools which are used extensively in scientific
research. Within the field of nutritional studies stable isotopes are used for
studying the flow of nutrients through the human body. Since they are safe and
non-radioactive they can even be used in infants and pregnant women. In the
present study a comprehensive set of measurements of hydrogen and oxygen
isotopic composition (2H‰ and 18O‰) taken from a variety of locations for the
first time to determine the Local
Ground Water Line (LGWL) for groundwater of Agartala.
This equation will be useful as a reference point for future studies in this
area that use stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen to analyze many hydrologic
problems. |
