“…Leakage area delineation in multi-aquifer systems is one of the most challenging topics of regional hydrogeological studies. Existing methods for this purpose include the use of natural environmental tracers, mostly isotopes and chloride (Anker, 2003 Kleinig et al, 2015); and balance calculations (Walton, 1960;Ruhl et al, 2002;Anker, 2007;Messerschmid et al, 2018; Kunchao Lei et al, 2020). The best review of methods for aquifer connectivity determination is given in the report of CIESC (Harrington et al, 2014).…”
