Creators

Description

Pilot tests have been carried out on fractures intersecting two boreholes drilled in granite in a Troon quarry. The rate of recovery of water from one borehole as it is injected into the first has been measured. Tracer tests were carried out using potassium iodide and strontium nitrate. Samples were collected and analysed by absorption spectrophotometry. (U.K.)
