“…Strontium isotopes have a potential to fingerprint the anthropogenic additives, among which fertilizers, waters from mine drainage, industrial waste waters, municipal sewage, and hydraulic fracturing fluids are the most critical (e.g., Böhlke & Horan, ; Chapman et al, ; Christian, Banner, & Mack, ; Hosono et al, ; Ruhl, Dwyer, Hsu‐Kim, Hower, & Vengosh, ; Vengosh, Jackson, Warner, Darrah, & Kondash, ; Zieliński et al, ). Strontium isotopes have also proved to be a reliable tool for identification of water reservoirs and aquifer interactions in a variety of hydrologic systems (e.g., Frost & Toner, ; Katz & Bullen, ; Négrel & Deschamps, ; Négrel & Pauwels, ; Zieliński et al, ). Among the various geochemical tracers commonly used to fingerprint fluid–rock reactions, strontium isotopes are particularly valuable in studies of weathering processes (e.g., Bu, Song, Zhang, & Burford, ; Jacobson, Blum, & Walter, ; Krishnaswami, Trivedi, Sarin, Ramesh, & Sharma, ).…”
