Excerpt

Tracing techniques have a broad application in science and have demonstrated particular usefulness in hydrogeology. Applied tracers, which are defined as non-natural constituents that are intentionally introduced, are especially powerful investigative tools because the tracer application (or source term) is controlled and well characterized. This permits quantification of transport parameters and measurement of subsurface properties in a way often unmatched by standard physical methods. Furthermore, tracer tests directly measure properties in-situ and can be used to investigate very specific processes by selecting tracers with appropriate physicochemical properties. In many cases, tracer test methods offer the most accurate or practical way to measure specific parameters, and in some cases, they are the only reliable investigative technique. Depending on the application, tracer tests can be used to characterize properties representative of large subsurface volumes or investigate small-scale transport phenomena. …
