Table of Contents

Physical and geological concepts: basic hydrological concepts; geological data; physical parameters. Chemical tools of groundwater hydrology: elements, isotopes, ions, units and errors; chemical parameters - data processing; planning hydrochemicalstudies; chemical parameters - field work. Isotopic tools of groundwater hydrology: water identification and dating; stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes; tritium dating; radiocarbon dating; chlorine-36 dating; the noble gases; helium-4 and Ar-40long-range dating; paleoclimate, palaeohydrology and groundwater dating interrelations. Man and water: detecting pollution sources; sustainable development of groundwater, urban and statewide management; Water quality standards, monitoring, efficient databanks and education activities; oceans - major reservoir of terrestrial water and salts. Oceans and continents - constant shifting of water and salts: interstitial waters beneath the oceans - common marine facies and occasional epicontinental brine-taggedfacies; salt and gypsum deposits within sedimentary basins disclose large-scale evaporitic paleo-systems and storage in isolated rock-compartments. Deep groundwater systems - formation water: brine-tagged meteoric formation waters are dominant withinsedimentary basins and rift valleys, ruling out basin-wide through-flow; isotopic dating within the wide age range of formation waters; brine-tagged meteoric formation waters are common also in crystalline shields - geological conclusions and relevance tonuclear waste repositories; petroleum deposits elucidated by associated formation waters. Petroleum hydrology - petroleum formation environments high-lighted by the associated formation waters; petroleum formation environments high-lighted by rockcharacteristics; the pressure-cooker model of petroleum formation in closed compartments and discussion of related paradigms; formation waters and petroleum - unifying the research and exploration avenues. Warm and geothermal waters applied for recreationand energy production: warm and mineral waters; boiling and superheated waters; hydrochemists' reports; discussed answers.

Author Information

Emanuel Mazor is Professor (retired}, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. Still active at the university, his long list of research papers investigates a wide spectrum of groundwater occurrences. These studies were carried out in many countries and with the close association of a long list of coworkers. The water samples that were collected in the field were sent to expert laboratories for analysis, except for the noble gases, for which he headed a leading laboratory for more than 20 years. Dr. Mazor received the B.S. (1955) and Ph.D. (1960) degrees in geology from Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
