一项染料示踪研究被用来记录废物流的路径，这些废物流可能会通过地表天坑直接流入地下含水层，而地下含水层是牙买加西北部大部分地区的水源。对地下水流动行为的了解将有助于进一步井水开发的最佳选址。包括6个参考文献、表格、图表。

A dye-tracing study was used to document the path of waste streams that could flow through surface sinkholes directly into an underground aquifer, the source of water supply for much of northwestern Jamaica. Knowledge of the behavior of groundwater flow will enhance optimum siting for further well water development. Includes 6 references, tables, figures.
