Abstract
DNA-tagged particle tracers have been the subject of several researches as a new tracer for hydrological applica-tions. This tracer potentially permits the production of a large number of identically transported but distinguishabletracers. Such technique facilitates multi-point and multi-time tracer experiments in a specific location withoutconfounding the signal of the different tracers. All of those potential benefits of DNA-tagged particles can effec-tively improve our understanding on contamination flow origin and its pathways in the subsurface environment.
