Water mixing problems are common in hydrology. A 1998 paper describing uncertainty analysis in tracer‐based mixing problems is widely cited but does not present the equations needed for three‐component problems. This Commentary presents the equations needed to compute the uncertainties in the mixing fractions for a three‐component water mixing problem based on tracer data.
