The article focuses on the use of independent tracers to increase throughflow through a mining pit, specifically Herman Pit, an abandoned mercury (Hg) mine pit adjacent to Clear Lake, in California. Topics include the kind of tracers being used such as Rhodamine-WT, sulfur hexafluoride, and a mixture of sulfur hexafluoride and neon-22, the geochemical inferences, and watershed during storms.

The article focuses on a study which examines the mechanisms of contaminant in the Clear Lake, California. Topics include the use of three dimensional (3-D) numerical modeling study to provide a robust description of hydrodynamic and particle transport in the said lake, the mechanisms of transport of contaminants away from the vicinity of the Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine, and the hydraulic connection existing among the sub-basins of the lake.
