Solving groundwater management questions with numerical models and environmental tracersPhD opportunity at CSIRO Land and Water, Adelaide and Flinders University, Adelaide supervisors: Luk Peeters, Dirk Mallants, Okke BatelaanFuture success of sustainable groundwater management is dependent upon our ability to resolve key groundwater management questions, such as determining a sustainable level of water take for irrigation or assessing the impact of mine development on water resources. This requires a thorough understanding of the groundwater system as a basis for developing reliable predictive groundwater models. Environmental tracers continue to be one of the essential tools to date groundwater and are invaluable in understanding groundwater flow systems. Although tracers have been successfully used to derive recharge rates, quantify aquifer interconnectivity, or determine fluxes involved in surface/groundwater exchange, they are rarely used directly to constrain groundwater models.
