Abstract
Radon measurement has important applications in hydrogeological studies (Fukui, 1985). Specifically, radon measurement is used to determine the fluctuations of the piezometric levels in groundwater and, in some cases, the path of the water, which is one of the key parameters to evaluate hydrogeological resources. Water from springs and deep wells in the Basin of Mexico and the valley of San Luis Potosí were sampled, measured and analyzed (Cortes and Jaimes, 1990). In this work a method for measuring 222Rn in groundwater by using a passive detector is presented and the results are compared with a similar experiment performed at the same time, using the dynamical method. The aim of the work is to develop a method for detecting, evaluating and measuring the 222Rn in groundwater by using SSNTD technology (Espinosa et al, 1981; Varhegyi et al, 1988).
