Examples of hydrologically deducible end members include dams that contribute to adjacent wells and seawater intruding into coastal aquifers. Known sources of manmade pollution may be treated as hydrologically suspected end members.

Fossil seawater that represents past invasions into coastal aquifers accompanying rise in sea level can be documented by the apparent old age inferred by the and data of saline waters as reported in Germany (Hahn, 1991), Belgium (De Breuck and De Moor, 1991), India (Sukhija, 1996), and Israel (Yechieli et al., 2001). 

Figure 7 The variations of chloride, calcium, strontium (in mgL ), and Sr/ Sr ratios during intrusion of seawater into the coastal aquifer of Salinas Valley, California, USA. Note the linear relationships between all constituents, which indicates conservative mixing relationships between freshwater and modified seawater. These relationships suggest that base-exchange reactions occur at early stage of seawater intrusion and that Sr in exchange sites has a high Sr/ Sr ratio (source Vengosh et aL, 2002a).
