Description

A stable isotope study (delta34S and delta18OSO42-) of dissolved sulphate was carried out in groundwater from the Murray Group and Renmark Group Aquifers, located in the South-Western Murray Basin. The objectives were to identify the source and the mechanisms controlling sulphate concentration, as well as to attempt to identify specific locations of inter-aquifer mixing. (author)
