Isotopic study of the effect of Tarbela reservoir on the groundwater system in downstream areas

  • 1. Pakistan Inst. of Nuclear Science and Technology, Islamabad (Pakistan)

Description

Isotopic studies were carried out on the right banks of the River Indus, downstream of Tarbela, to study the effect of Tarbela reservoir on the groundwater system. The main objectives of the study were to determine the hydraulic connection, between Tarbela Lake and the groundwater appearing in the ponds near Gadoon Amazai, to see the effect of Tarbela dam on the groundwater system in the downstream areas, and to estimate the relative contribution of different recharge sources to the groundwater system. Environmental isotope (2H, 18O and 3H) techniques along with major ion chemistry were employed to study the problem. 2 refs, 2 figs
