Groundwater resources vulnerability assessment in an alluvial aquifer subjected to strong anthropogenic contamination: geochemical and multi-isotopic fingerprinting approach
Abstract:<p>Anthropogenic contamination, such as agricultural or urban activities, has led in less than a hundred years to the degradation of the quality of water resources. To assess the vulnerability of groundwater regarding organic and inorganic pollution (i.e. nitrates, pesticides, and pharmaceutical compounds) isotopic tracers may be used. However, in areas where multiple pollution sources occur, isotopic tracers may not be sufficiently discriminant, making source identification difficult. To overcom… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
