Tracer techniques have proved to be applicable to virtually every aspect of hydrology, and increased use of these techniques in the future seems certain. This publication comprises 33 papers accepted for the international symposium on Hydrochemistry (Symposium S5) which was jointly convened by the International Commission on Water Quality and the International Committee on Tracers during the Fifth Scientific Assembly of the IAHS held at Rabat, Morocco, April–May 1997. The papers summarize the use of tracers and contribute to knowledge of the movement and residence of natural and human-made chemical constituents in all parts of the hydrosphere. Symposium topics relevant to local and regional issues for arid and semiarid areas and for the humid tropics were targeted, and papers on modelling studies using tracer results were encouraged. The papers have been separated into three groups: Salinization and Saltwater Intrusion—these papers are relevant to the arid and semiarid zone and contribute to UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme (IHP-V Project 5.1); Tracer Techniques; and Hydrological and Hydrochemical Processes—for which a subset of papers is relevant to the humid tropics and contributes to IHP-V Project 6.1.
