Description

An artificial tracer (3H), fluorescent dyes (Uranine and Eosine) and environmental tracers (2H and 18O) were simultaneously used to investigate leakages under a dike in the Amazon region. Results obtained with the help of artificial tritium were in a satisfactory agreement with those obtained with environmental tracers, whereas the fluorescent dyes were unsuccessful probably due to high adsorption.
