Vostok

Removed from the article because I couldn't verify that the lake's waters are referred to as fossil.

Lake Vostok is an exceptional example that is not an aquifer.

Amarillo stuff

I have removed some content that was inappropriately added to the end of this article. This content was hardly relevent, and probably belonged on some other page. It had also been added to the end of the article, even after the external links section. It was not even given a heading or title. The person who added it was obviously ignorant of, or had contempt for the standards by which content is to be added.

Statement removed

I have removed this line from the article. It appears to be an orphan; there is no context for the statement as found in the article.

Radiocarbon dating has revealed that some aquifer water has been there for 40,000 years, since before the end of the last ice age.

Nubian Sandstone Aquifers uncited

The following section seems to not have a citation attached

The water in the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System is of high importance to the people living above it, and has been for millennia. In modern times, as demand increases, avoiding rapid depletion and international conflict will depend on careful cross-boundary monitoring and planning. Libya and Egypt are currently planning development projects to withdraw significant amounts of the aquifer's fossil water for use.

Other fossil aquifers have been identified throughout Northern Africa as well.

Tritium

Tritium is not a stable isotope rather it is radioactive and decays to He-3. Tritium is routinely used to directly radiodate waters up to about 120 years. 199.59.117.251 (talk) 05:18, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
