Abstract:Abstract. Among the manifold of environmental tracers at hand, tritium is the only one that can give information on groundwater age within the timescale of 100 years for the entire flow system, i.e., unsaturated and saturated. However, while in the Southern Hemisphere, a single water sample is sufficient for tritium-based young groundwater dating, several tritium measurements spanning multiple years are still needed in the Northern Hemisphere to disentangle the natural cosmogenic tritium input from that caused… Show more
