Abstract
The environmental stable and radioactive isotopes are widely applied to solve the practical problems related to the study of different aspects of dynamics of natural waters and the hydrosphere as a whole. The solution of such problems by the isotopes as natural tracers is based on natural regularities in their space and time distribution in the hydrosphere, which were discussed in the previous chapters. Some examples of practical application of the environmental isotopes in hydrology, hydrogeology, meteorology, oceanography, and climatology are presented in this chapter.
