Abstract: | Tritium activity is determined by standard techniques, in samples collected from fresh, marine and highly saline water around Alexandria. It has been found that, the average 3H activity is 6.32 ±1.17, 4.02±0.77 and 2.90±0.51 Bq.L?1 for West Elnobaria Drain, Lake Marioute and Mediterranean coastal water, respectively. Tritium activity is found to be weakly correlated with water quality parameters; pH, dissolved O2, Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP), conductivity, salinity and chlorinity. Autocorrelation analysis indicates that the transport phenomena for 3H variations in fresh and saline water are not the same. |
