Using the Cl/Br ratio as a tracer to identify the origin of salinity in aquifers in Spain and Portugal
TLDR
In this article, the applicability of the Cl/Br molar ratio for identifying the origin of groundwater salinity is presented according to the experience gained in Spain and Portugal, where data have been collected from different areas of Spanish and Portugal and explained and illustrated by two cases described in detail.About:

Using Cl/Br ratios and other indicators to assess potential impacts on groundwater quality from septic systems: A review and examples from principal aquifers in the United States
TL;DR: A detailed review of chemical indicators used to identify impacts from septic tanks on groundwater quality was made in this article, where the potential impacts of septic tank leachate on ground water quality were assessed using the mass ratio of chloride-bromide (Cl/Br), concentrations of selected chemical constituents, and ancillary information (land use, census data, well depth, soil characteristics) for wells in principal aquifers of the United States.

Salinization and Saline Environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of global salinization phenomena and investigate the different mechanisms and geochemical processes that are associated with salinisation, including the distinction between natural processes and anthropogenic forcing that generates salinity.

Assessment of sources and fate of nitrate in shallow groundwater of an agricultural area by using a multi-tracer approach
TL;DR: Hydrogeological information and stable water isotopes indicate that active groundwater recharge occurs in the 8000km(2) study area under present-day climatic and hydrologic conditions.

Groundwater Overexploitation and Seawater Intrusion in Coastal Areas of Arid and Semi-Arid Regions
TL;DR: In this paper, the results demonstrate high values of the parameters Electrical Conductivity, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Cl- and SO42-, which can be attributed to seawater intrusion, where Cl is the major pollutant of the aquifer.

The Development of Morality
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the development of moral development from the perspective of major theoretical approaches, emphasizing cultural differences in individualism and collectivism, which result in the acquisition of moralities based on the centrality of individuals and rights or the group and duties.

Uses of Chloride/Bromide Ratios in Studies of Potable Water
TL;DR: In natural ground water systems, both chlorine and bromine occur primarily as monovalent anions, chloride and Bromide Although dissolution or precipitation of halite, biological activity in the root zone, anion sorption, and exchange can affect chloride/bromide ratios in some settings, movement of the ions in potable ground water is most often conservative Atmospheric precipitation will generally have mass ratios between 50 and 150; shallow ground water, between 100 and 200; domestic sewage, between 300 and 600; water affected by dissolution of Halite, between 1,000 and

The evaporation path of seawater and the coprecipitation of Br- and K+ with halite.
TL;DR: Brines and salt were sampled at the Morton Bahamas solar salt production facility on Great Inagua Island in the Bahamas and analyzed by ion chromatography to define more precisely than heretofore the evaporation path of seawater to the end of the halite facies.

The Yearly Circulation of Chloride and Sulfur in Nature; Meteorological, Geochemical and Pedological Implications. Part II
TL;DR: In this paper, the circulation of air borne oceanic constituents is discussed to the extent available data permit, and it is estimated that about 90 per cent of this is precipitated over the oceans, the rest is carried into continents and is brought back to the sea in rivers.
