Official basis (Guidance): USGS TWRI3-A9 addresses stream travel time. Groundwater or mine tracing needs a purpose-specific design; uranine is sodium fluorescein, not a wholly separate dye class.
Procurement note: USGS source is stream travel-time guidance. Uranine is sodium fluorescein; tracer/environment compatibility and field authorisation determine procurement and use.
