Description :
To provide more detail information on the effect of flow rate on strontium isotope ratios, the Sr 87/Sr 86 ratio was measured in streamwater samples taken at low and high flow rates and also in samples taken at four and eight hourly intervals during two rain events, in a small catchment in andesitic lavas : Rowantree Burn at Sourhope, Scotland. The results show that the concentration of strontium in the streamwater was inversely proportional to the flowrate.
