Some Hydrogeological Problems In Sri Lanka
The environmental heavy stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen (18O and 2H or D) together with both natural and artificially introduced tritium, 3H or T, the radioactive isotope of hydrogen, were used to try to solve some hydrogeological problems in Sri Lanka. The approach proved useful in establishing the rate of recharge to a multi-aquifer system at Vanathavillu in the semi-arid Dry Zone of the island Here, and also in its Wet Zone, a value of almost1 00% wasdemonstrated Tritiated water (HTO) experiments around the country enabled apparent seepage velocitiesfrom canals and reservoirs to be calculated The rapid rise ofpopulation makes such investigations practically beneficial both in easing shortfalls ofpotable water and conserving scarce water resources.
