Excerpt

The geologically complex western aquifers of Hawai 'i Island serve as the primary reservoir of fresh potable water for residents, yet the area's hydrogeologic characteristics are still not well understood. Groundwater age is a fundamental parameter used to better understand groundwater flow and storage, yet few studies have attempted to estimate apparent groundwater ages in Hawai 'i. This study implements a multi-tracer approach using chlorofluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and tritium/helium-3 to determine the apparent …
