Age determination of ground-waters by means of carbon 14
Description
At present the age determination of ground-waters aged between 1,500 and approximately 40,000 years is only possible by measuring their 14C content. A precise age assignment can be established in slightly mineralised waters, whereas it becomes vague in mineralised waters, particularly in acidulous springs. In general, additional information and data are required about the 13C, D, 18O, 3H, 85Kr and the 39Ar contents, about the ph value, temperature and the principal ions. (DG)

Die Messung des 14C-Gehalts von Grundwaessern ist bis jetzt die einzige Moeglichkeit zur Bestimmung von Wasseraltern im Bereich von 1.500 bis etwa 40.000 Jahren. Bei schwachmineralisierten Waessern ist eine klare Altersangabe zu treffen, waehrend sie bei Mineral-Waessern, insbesondere Kohlensaeuerlichen, fragwuerdig wird. In der Regel sind zusaetzliche Daten ueber den 13C-, D-, 18O-, 3H-, 85Kr- und 39Ar-Gehalt sowie den Psub(H)-Wert, die Temperatur und die Hauptionen notwendig. (DG)
