Comment:
All isotopes were analysed by W. Stichler from the Institute of Groundwater Ecology at the GSF in Neuherberg, Stable isotopes were sampled with 20 ml plastic bottles. Water samples were taken from dug wells and boreholes. The precision of measurement is approximately 0.15 per mil for d18O and 1 per mil for d2H.
