Tracing and quantifying groundwater inflow into lakes using a simple method for radon-222 analysis
Due to its high activities in groundwater, the radionuclide 222Rn is a sensitive natural tracer to detect and quantify groundwater inflow into lakes, provided the comparatively low activities in the lakes can be measured accurately. Here we present a simple method for radon measurements in the low-level range down to 3 Bq m−3, appropriate for groundwater-influenced lakes, together with a concep...

متن کاملEstimating the dynamics of groundwater input into the coastal zone via continuous radon-222 measurements.
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into the coastal zone has received increased attention in the last few years as it is now recognized that this process represents an important pathway for material transport. Assessing these material fluxes is difficult, as there is no simple means to gauge the water flux. To meet this challenge, we have explored the use of a continuous radon monitor to mea...

متن کاملGroundwater Radon-222 Concentrations in Antelope Creek, Idaho: Measurement and Interpolation
Groundwater samples were collected from eight wells in remote Antelope Creek valley, Idaho. Seven out of eight locations showed that groundwater 222 Rn concentrations were much greater than 11 Bq/L (300 pCi/L), a maximum contaminant level (MCL) proposed by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Rock and soil samples collected near the sampling wells revealed that 238 U contents ...
