Abstract

The chemistry and stable isotopic composition of sulfur from a single village Kalalanwala is given in Table 4.1. For convenience in description, groundwater samples are grouped into three categories according to well depth: groundwaters sampled from 24 to 27 m deep wells (shallow groundwater); 60–90 m (middle groundwater); and 165–183 m (deep groundwater).
