Abstract | Quaternary sand dunes and underlying Pliocene-Oligocene materials host the key groundwater resources that provide the only source of drinking water for a large proportion of Maputo district (Mozambique). This resource is at risk due to potential over exploitation, pollution and salinization. Few hydrogeochemical studies have been conducted in the region, with generally poor quality assurance and availability of datasets. This study provides the first isotopic results to calculate groundwater residence times in the region. Analysis in monitoring bores included major ions, selected minor ions and trace elements, water stable isotopes (δ18O, δ2H), carbon stable isotopes in dissolved inorganic and organic carbon (δ13CDIC, δ13CDOC), strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr), radiocarbon (14CDIC) and tritium (3H). |
