This is an open-file publication. MBMG open files are manuscripts and maps that are
released, but not considered formal publications; most have not gone through the
rigorous review and editorial process required for an official report. Some
open-file reports eventually appear as formal Bureau publications.

| Description |
Strontium and water isotope mixing analysis for groundwater and surface water in the Billings area. Strontium isotopes are used to characterize the nature of surface-water gains in two surface-water features. An approximated local meteoric water line is presented and estimated precipitation recharge and canal leakage are shown to be isotopically indistinct. This work is associated with the GWIP Billings study.
