DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2020.106327
Abstract: Abstract δ18O, δD, 3H, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), and hydrogeochemical parameters were investigated to evaluate factors controlling nitrate levels in groundwater in an agricultural basin with steep topographic gradients. Groundwater is predominantly recharged from mountainous terrain toward… read more here.
