THE APPLICATION OF RADIOISOTOPE TECHNIQUES TO WATER ENGINEERING INVESTIGATIONS

THE VALUE OF RADIOISOTOPE TECHNIQUES IN WATER ENGINEERING INVESTIGATIONS IN THE HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC FIELDS IS DISCUSSED AND REFERENCE MADE TO THE NATURE OF RADIOISOTOPES, DETECTING EQUIPMENT, AND RADIONUCLEAR METHODS. FOUR AREAS OF APPLICATION OF THE TECHNIQUES (SURFACE WATER, GROUND WATER, SOIL MOISTURE, AND SEDIMENT AND LITTORAL DEPOSIT TRANSPORT) ARE REVIEWED WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO RECENT OVERSEAS AND AUSTRALIAN WORK. A NUMBER OF MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS ARE CONSIDERED. /AUTHOR/
