| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Geochemical indicators such as major ions, sulfur hexafluoride, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen/oxygen isotopes in nitrate, and radon were applied to understand situation of groundwater flow and solute movement in heterogeneous carbonate aquifers which have freshwater lenses.
In the Ryukyu Limestone aquifer of Tarama Island, Okinawa, the groundwater was thought to be composed of mixed water which had been recharged in multiple (or continuous) ages, although the shallow groundwater in the coastal areas would have been recharged in relatively recent time.
On the other hand, in Laura Island of Majuro Atoll, the recharged water was estimated to flow in the surface of the freshwater lens, without mixing with the deeper groundwater.
