Stable water isotopes
The stable isotopes deuterium (²H) and oxygen-18 (¹⁸O) are used as tracers in the water cycle and enable monitoring of climate-related changes. The Global Climate Observing System GCOS Switzerland has used deuterium and oxygen-18 as official climate parameters since 2007. The International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA coordinates the isotopic measurements globally and manages the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation GNIP and the Global Network of Isotopes in Rivers GNIR. Status and trend of the stable water isotopes in precipitation and surface waters are collected in Switzerland within the framework of the ISOT module of the National Groundwater Monitoring NAQUA and are used to reference groundwater recharge. The monitoring network of the ISOT module currently includes 22 monitoring sites and is operated by the FOEN in close collaboration with the GCOS and the IAEA.
