The understanding of the transport and transfer of water and salts in large sedimentary aquifers is necessary for better management of water resources in the future. Assesses the usefulness of [detla]34S and [delta]18OSO42 of dissolved SO42- and 87SR/86Sr ratios as tracers of inter-aquifer mixing and rock-water interaction between and within the Murray and Renmark Group aquifers in the south-west Murray Basin. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Geology and Geophysics, 1999?
