This study determines the potential of prerncting pollution to ground water by sanitary
landfills. The tracing capabilities of both stable and radioactive environmental isotopes
are also evaluated. Four landfills were selected, the Linbro Park and Waterval sites in
Johannesburg, and the Bloemfontein northern and southern landfill sites. The sites all
differ in geological environment, size. age and physiographic setting.
