Tritium ageDarker color in small vertical rectangle (well screen symbol) indicates tritium age of water sampled in well. Lighter color indicates interpreted age of water in aquifer.

Mixed: water is a mixture of recent and vintage (greater than 1 TU to less than 8 TU).

Well not sampled for tritium.

Enhanced-permeability zone

Vintage: water entered the ground before 1953 (less than or equal to 1 TU).

Recent: water entered the ground since about 1953 (8 to 15 tritium units [TU]).
