“…Disclosure of the groundwater characteristics related to the age or time of its existence in a certain zone, is often neglected in observations. Whereas determining water sources is very important to see its sustainability ((Putranto et al, 2020;Nugraha et al, 2021;Akurugu et al, 2022;Mahdid et al, 2022;Tyne et al, 2022;Chen et al, 2023). Research on water resources, especially in Indonesia, still depends on conventional hydrogeological (geological setting) approaches, very few use stable isotopes.…”

The southern slope of Mount Karang is covered by complex volcanic deposits with complicated texture and structure. The study on zone or location of water resources which would be exploited required a comprehensive hydrogeological approach. Through detailed geological mapping, spring sampling, and well drilling were carried out. Representative spring water samples were taken to be analyzed in the laboratory, and to obtain the data of physical groundwater, chemical groundwater, stable isotopes 18O (oxygen-18), and deuterium contents, as well as the age of the groundwater. In general, the groundwater facies of the studied area showed Ca, Na, KHCO3 with several sites indicating changes to CaHCO3 during the dry and rainy seasons. The synthesis results of the stable isotope 18O (oxygen-18) and deuterium contents, verified by the physical and chemical groundwater controlled by geological setting in the groundwater subbasins, show the anomaly of residence time as trapped by the normal fault in the middle of the studied area. The existing normal fault might control this anomaly of residence time of groundwater surrounding site JH1, JH9, and JH20. However, the distribution of three different water source zones occurred. All group of groundwater indicated a complex flowing with geological setting controlling the physical, chemical content, and the age of the groundwater. At last, sites JH4, JH5, and JH9 show that the zones are proper to be developed as sustainability groundwater resources.

“…Nevertheless, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of uoride can lead to severe health and hygiene issues, a scenario more commonly observed in rural areas of developing countries (Rehman et al, 2022;Xiao et al, 2022b;Li et al, 2024). A plethora of research endeavors have delved into the origins and migration patterns of high-uoride groundwater, encompassing both natural elements like topography, runoff dynamics, and aquifer constitution, and anthropogenic factors such as land usage and irrigation practices (Su et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2016;Li et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2023). Nevertheless, there remains a paucity of comprehensive investigation and application of these in uential factors at the regional level.…”

Groundwater is the critical resource for agricultural, industrial, and urban-rural water supplies in arid and semi-arid regions, especially in North China Plain. In this study, 64 groundwater samples were collected to assess the potential for groundwater development and utilization in the upper reaches of the Zhang Wei river. The hydrochemical analysis revealed that the groundwater is primarily composed of HCO3-Ca and HCO3-Na·Ca. The hydrochemical type is influenced by natural water-rock interactions, including evaporite dissolution, silicate weathering, and ion exchange processes. Isotope data for hydrogen and oxygen, characterized by positive deviations from the global meteoric water line, underscore the significant impact of evaporation in the region. An entropy weight index method was employed for water quality evaluation, revealing that over 89% of the samples complied with Class II standards for household use. Furthermore, more than 85% of the area’s groundwater exhibited Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentrations below 1,000 mg/L, indicating a predominance of soft water. However, toxic elements such as fluorine (F), iodine (I), and chromium (Cr) were found to exceed drinking water standards, posing a health risk. Particularly, the intake level of fluorine was above the permissible value, potentially causing non-carcinogenic risks to children and infants. In conclusion, while the overall groundwater quality is favorable for the region, the presence of geochemically derived toxic substances necessitates careful consideration of its suitability for drinking purposes.

The confined groundwater of arid sedimentary plains has been disturbed by long‐term anthropogenic extraction, and its hydrochemical quality is required for sustainable development. The present research investigates the hydrochemical characteristics, formation, potential health threats, and quality suitability of the confined groundwater in the central North China Plain. Results show that the confined groundwater has a slightly alkaline nature in the study area, predominantly dominated by fresh‐soft Cl‐Na and HCO3‐Na types. Water chemistry is governed by water–rock interactions, including dissolution of evaporites and cation exchange. Approximately 97% of the sampled confined groundwaters exceed the prescribed standard for F−. It is mainly due to geological factors such as mineral dissolution, cation exchange, and competitive adsorption of HCO3− and may also be released from compacted soils because of groundwater extraction. Enriched F− in the confined groundwater can pose an intermediate and higher non‐carcinogenic risk to more than 90% of the population. It poses the greatest health threat to the population in the north‐eastern part of the study area, especially to infants and children. For sustainable development, the long‐term use of confined groundwater for irrigation in the area should be avoided, and attention should also be paid to the potential soil salinization and infiltration risks. In the study area, 97% of the confined groundwaters are found to be excellent or good quality for domestic purposes based on Entropy‐weighted Water Quality Index. However, the non‐carcinogenic health risk caused by high contents of F− cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is recommended that differential water supplies should be implemented according to the spatial heterogeneity of confined groundwater quality to ensure the scientific and rational use of groundwater resources.Practitioner Points The hydrochemistry quality of confined groundwater in an arid sedimentary plain disturbed by long‐term anthropogenic extraction was investigated. The suitability of confined groundwater for multiple purposes such as irrigation and drinking were evaluated. The hydrochemical characteristics and formation mechanism of confined groundwater under the influence of multiple factors were revealed.
