Abstract

The study focuses on characterizing groundwater systems in the Shivwits Plateau, Grand Canyon National Park, using isotopic and geochemical tracers. Traditional methods are supplemented with δ 13 C of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), as well as fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM). This multi-tracer approach aims to enhance understanding of groundwater flow paths and recharge sources in a region where water resources are critical and under stress due to climate change and increasing demand. The research is significant because it provides a comprehensive characterization of a poorly understood groundwater system, which is essential for effective water management and conservation in the area.
