Isotopes in hydrogeology

Questions of the application of radioactive isotopes in hydrogeology and seismology are considered, as well as their physico-chemical and geochemical properties and the regularities of their occurrence and migration in natural waters. The possibility of application of these isotopes in calculating the age of waters and in solving paleohydrogeological problems is studied. Elucidated are questions of utilization of helium and uranium isotope content in determining the effect of faults on the hydrogeological conditions of regions and in selecting burial sites for industrial wastes. Utilization of changes in the isotopic and gas composition of underground waters during the activization of tectonic movements for earthquake forecasts is considered
