Abstract: Eighteen ram samples from Israel have been analyzed for their chemical composmon and S7Sr/S6Sr ratios The Sr-Isotoplc rahos lie In the range 0 7078 and 0 7092, and the Sr concentrations vary from 1 × 10 -4 to 9 x 10 4 meq Sr/l.
Soluble salts in rainwater are inherited from three major natural sources, seaspray, Recent marine minerals and mineral dust eroded from rock outcrops and soft A mixing model is formulated to apply the chemical composmon of rain (CI and Sr 2+) and ~ts isotopic 87Sr/S6Sr ratio, for the identification and est~mahon of the Sr sources.
All the samples fall within the m~xing space predicted by the model for the three end members mentioned above The data indicate that the most important non-seaspray source contributing d~ssolved salts to the rams m Israel comprises a mixture of Senoman to Eocene chalk (and its weathering products) and Recent marine minerals, from local and imported sources.
Most of the samples (67%) contain 50% or more non-seaspray Sr 0 e, Sr dissolved from dust or Recent marine minerals), whereas 56% of the samples display 87Sr/86Sr ratios lower than 0 7090. The rest represent mixtures of seaspray and Recent marine minerals.

Abstract: The lower reaches of the Sabarmati River Basin in Gujarat have intense agricultural and industrial activities and this part is affected by problems of groundwater salinity. Here we attempt to assess the processes governing the causes of groundwater salinity in the coastal alluvial aquifer, employing δ18O and δD isotopes in integration with ionic ratio. The different hydrochemical facies such Na–Mg–HCO3–Cl, Na–Cl–SO4, Na–Mg–Cl–HCO3–SO4 and Na–Cl of groundwater show the occurrence of complex geochemical phenomenon in the study area. Ionic ratio (such as Mg2+/Ca2+, Na+/Cl−, SO24/Cl-, K+/Cl−) and isotopic composition (δ18O and δD) of groundwater indicate that while in coastal areas seawater intrusion is taking place, in inland areas various anthropogenic activities and overexploitation have induced salinity in groundwater. Over-pumping of groundwater has also induced lateral intermixing of highly saline water in the vicinity of coastal areas with relatively fresh/low saline groundwater along specific flow pathways.
