Charles Sumner Slichter (1864–1946) was a mathematician and physicist. His most notable scholarly contribution focused on hydrogeology where he developed a method of quantifying the velocity of ground-water underflow in river valleys. This method employed ammonium chloride that would be placed in an upstream, i.e., the upgradient, well and detected in three observation wells a short distance away, i.e., the downgradient.
