Notes
- Abstract:
- As ground water becomes increasingly important as a
source of water in the United States, reliable information
on the hydrological characteristics of carbonate aquifers
must be obtained in order to develop them intelligently.
Various tracers have been used in the past to
determine if two or more points are connected hydrologically. Today there exists a number of excellent dye
tracers and tracer methods have been developed in unconsolidated and clastic aquifers for determining hydrological characteristics.
This paper reviews the various dye tracers and
methods which might be applied in a carbonate karst
terrain us3.ng wells as injection and sampling points.
Fluorescein, Rhodamine, and Pontacyl Pink are evaluated.
Effective porosities of the Gasconade, Roubidoux, and
Jefferson City Formations were determined from field
samples to estimate the amount of water which might be
stored and transmitted through these rocks. In field
investigations, salt, fluorescein, and Rhodamine were used
as tracers during pumping tests at three sites. No background fluorescene was detected in any of the well or
spring samples. No connection was established between any
wells because none of the tracers placed in the injection
wells was detected at any of the observation wells. A
point dilution curve was obtained for one injection well.
