Official basis (Guidance): USGS TWRI 3 A9 covers dye tracing. Characterise background, recovery and the field question separately from regulatory water quality limits.
Procurement note: Tracer selection depends on the water body and authorised study. Names do not establish equivalent adsorption, recovery or environmental acceptability.
