Abstract
Radioactive dating has been one of the most efficient means of acquiring information regarding the accumulation and transfer of anthorpogenic substances and evaluating the sedimentation rates between localities. Through the use of radiocesium dating, it was found that the sedimentation rate in Lake Biel and Rhine River during the mid 1990s were significantly lower than the previous years. Other statistics on the radiocesium deposition rate of various rivers and water reservoirs have also been provided.
