Use of natural and fluorescent tracers to identify discharge sections at Juatuba basin
The Juatuba Basin, located at about 60 km from Belo Horizonte, has been used for several years, as a laboratory of several hydrossedimentological studies, in research projects that many times involve the use of natural, fluorescent and radioactive tracers.

| Sumario: | The Juatuba Basin, located at about 60 km from Belo Horizonte, has been used for several years, as a laboratory of several hydrossedimentological studies, in research projects that many times involve the use of natural, fluorescent and radioactive tracers. In this work, radon was used as a natural tracer to investigate the occurrence of discharge sections at Juatuba Basin. To analyze the radon activity concentration of water samples, the equipment RAD 7 was used. It was found sections with radon activity concentrations higher than the average of the stream under study. Flow rate variations obtained with the use of fluorescent tracers and a fluorometer confirm the indicative of the existence of the discharge sections at the site. |
