Title:

Robust Carbon Dots (Cd) as an Artificial Tracer for Groundwater Studies

Value Proposition:

The disclosure provides methods for the measurement of ground water characteristics. The carbon dot tracer is injected in an injection bore well. Carbon dot tracer and ground water are thoroughly mixed in the injection bore well. The ground water mixed with carbon dot tracer is pumped from the injection bore well to an acquiring bore well connected with injection bore well with micro and major fracture; the water samples mixed with carbon dot tracer were collected at the acquiring bore well.

The characteristics of the ground water were measured by measuring fluorescence. The disclosure further relates to a method for depicting the solute transportation in the soil.

Summary Application:

The characteristics of the ground water were measured by measuring fluorescence. The disclosure further relates to a method for depicting the solute transportation in the soil

Advantages:

Very Simple yet very effective and easy method for solute transportation in the soil.
