[AHW23-P07] Tritium concentration in recent precipitation in central Japan

Keywords:precipitation, tritium, Nagoya city

Tritium is a effective age-dating tracer in classifying groundwater into old (>70 y) and young (<70 y) water. Sustainable use of this age tracer requires a long-term record of precipitation tritium concentrations. In this presentation, we will introduce the tritium concentration of monthly precipitation measured in Nagoya City from 2010 to the present.
