First meeting of the IAEA F33027 project

The isotope group of HCRM participated at the 1st Research Coordination Meeting (RCM) of the IAEA F33027 “Isotopic Assessment of the Impacts of Climatic and Hydrological Changes on Wetland-groundwater Ecosystem Interactions” project that was held at the IAEA headquarters, Vienna, Austria in 13-17 June 2022.

The group agreed to collect surface water and representative groundwater samples on a monthly basis to be analyzed for water isotopes (δ18O and δ2H of H2O) and conventional hydrochemical parameters. Selective monitoring for 222Rn will be performed to assess the recharge of the wetland from groundwater.
