TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that the data are in agreement with an average cosmic-ray production rate of about 0·14 tritium atoms per cm 2 per second of the earth's surface, on the assumption that essentially all of this tritiium passes into water without decaying into helium and the tritiated water is precipitated out and goes into the sea.About:

DETERMINING THE TURNOVER TIME OF GROUNDWATER SYSTEMS WITH THE AID OF ENVIRONMENTAL TRACERS 1. Models and Their Applicability
P. Małoszewski,A. Zuber +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three new lumped-parameter models have been developed for the interpretation of environmental radioisotope data in groundwater systems, and the applicability of these models were tested by the reinterpretation of several known case studies (Modry Dul, Cheju Island, Rasche Spring and Grafendorf).

The Natural Distribution of Tritium
Sheldon Kaufman,Willard F. Libby +1 more
TL;DR: The abundance of cosmic-ray-produced tritium has been measured in a variety of natural waters in the Mississippi Valley, the Chicago area, and in a few places elsewhere in the northern hemisphere.

Neutrons Produced in the Atmosphere by the Cosmic Radiations
TL;DR: The distribution of disintegration product neutrons in the atmosphere has been measured from the geomagnetic equator to 65\ifmmode^\circ\else\text degree\fi{}N and up to 220 g-${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ air as discussed by the authors.
