Dating Groundwater Using Dissolved Organic Carbon and Estimating Flow-path Travel Times in Southern Nevada Aquifers
(2013)ABSTRACTThe study's objective was to evaluate the use of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) carbon-14 (14C) to estimate groundwater ages in southern Nevada aquifers. Hydrogeologists have traditionally used dissolved inorganic ... -
