Using Isotope Application for Assessment Water Origin in the Kakheti Region
Keywords:
groundwater origin and pathway, isotopic analysisAbstract
In order to assessment water origin and pathway, was organized monitoring network in East Georgia’s lowland - Alazani and Shiraki catchments. Observation set up with the aim to study the evolution of water isotopic composition from precipitation to groundwater and stream, what allowed determining the residence time of groundwater flow. The network estimated groundwater flow directions and velocities between recharge and discharge areas, as well as groundwater age for East Georgia catchments. Snow cover measurement was organized, also.
