Response to comment on “Tracing the sources of water using stable isotopes: first results along the Mangalore-Udupi region, south-west coast of India”
Abstract
Letter to the Editor. We thank Ramesh et al. for their comments[1] on our original paper.[2] The task of tracing the source of water along the tropical coast at the foot of the Western Ghats is not a simple one. We collected many water samples from shallow groundwater and river water on three different dates, in order to investigate whether there was a dual monsoon influence, i.e. the wet summer monsoon and the drier winter monsoon. We have attempted to answer the queries of Ramesh et al. paragraph by paragraph, before ending with a general conclusion.
