“…2a, all the spring samples are located in the local flow, except for sample 9 (spring), which is located in the intermediate flow and corresponds to the groundwater discharge from sample 16 (well), identified in the regional flow system. Samples 9 and 16 are located over shales of the Cardenas Formation, which has intermediate permeability (Krienen et al 2017). Due to the low flow of the aquifer, residence time increases and dissolves more minerals, as show in the sample point 16.…”

Water availability is fundamental for regional socioeconomic development, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions with recurrent periods of drought. Such is the case of the southwest region of Tamaulipas, whose only viable source of water is the Tula-Bustamante aquifer. This study aims to model groundwater evolution in the area, defining water-rock interaction processes, using nonparametric statistical tools and hydrogeochemical analysis. Two main processes that give rise to different hydrogeological units were identified: one characterized by water flow through fractured media (with limestone, dolomite and gypsum dissolution), and the other by aquitard features, such as the dissolution of shales, sandstones, and clays. Moreover, recharge, transit, and discharge processes were identified using groundwater flow systems theory, providing basic information for the design of an integrated water resources management system in the study area.

“…Part of the groundwater ow pattern travels through limestone rock, and another part travels over the internal part of the PVSLP, which allows it to interact with the evaporitic rocks of the Guaxcamá Fm. This could be considered the basement rock (Morán-Ramírez et al, 2013; Krienen et al, 2017;and Ortiz-Enriquez, 2023).…”

“…Previous studies at the site have mainly concentrated on analyzing the chemical composition of groundwater discharges into the wetland and surrounding springs. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding any potential changes in chemical or isotopic composition over time due to the studies being conducted at single points in time (Morán-Ramírez et al, 2013; Krienen et al, 2017).…”

Karst groundwater is the main source of water supply for ecosystems that are dependent on its discharges, such as wetlands, which are habitats for various species. Due to their characteristics and significance, it is imperative to conduct research aimed at elucidating the mechanisms governing the water quality and quantity in ecosystems reliant on karst groundwater discharges. The karstic systems are susceptible to contamination, and despite this fact, there is a dearth of information available, which hampers the accurate determination of water quality. The site study is the karst groundwater system discharging in the RAMSAR wetland Ciénaga de Tamasopo (Mexico) affected by the water extraction for the extensive sugar cane agriculture. The goal was to identify the groundwater flow systems discharging into the wetland by using hydrogeochemical and isotopic techniques. Additionally, it aimed to assess the temporal changes in physical and chemical parameters. It was determined that the chemical composition of the water changes with respect to residence time in the subsoil, and the predominant processes are the dissolution–precipitation of calcite, dolomite, and gypsum by water-rock interaction, mixing, and evaporation. This study facilitated the development of a conceptual model for understanding the movement of groundwater in karst systems in a warm, sub-humid climate. This conceptual model is crucial for enhancing water management strategies in the area.

“…Acid mine drainage (AMD) is generated from the chemical and biological weathering of sulfide minerals (mainly pyrite and FeS 2 ) in abandoned coal/mineral mining areas and is characterized by extremely low pH, high iron, and heavy metal concentrations , and, in humid climates, sulfate concentrations range from 0.3 to 7.2 g L –1 . − AMD has not only resulted in elevated concentrations of sulfur and heavy metals in paddy soils but has also damaged the growth of plants and the health of human beings . In AMD-contaminated paddy soils, heavy metal pollution and inorganic sulfur compounds have been studied intensively , , but very few studies have examined the speciation and transformation processes of organosulfur compounds.…”

Although sulfur cycling in acid mine drainage (AMD)-contaminated rice paddy soils is critical to understanding and mitigating the environmental consequences of AMD, potential sources and transformations of organosulfur compounds in such soils are poorly understood. We used sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy to quantify organosulfur compounds in paddy soils from five AMDcontaminated sites and one AMD-uncontaminated reference site near the Dabaoshan sulfide mining area in South China. We also determined the sulfur stable isotope compositions of water-soluble sulfate (δ 34 S WS ), adsorbed sulfate (δ 34 S AS ), fulvic acid sulfur (δ 34 S FAS ), and humic acid sulfur (δ 34 S HAS ) in these samples. Organosulfate was the dominant functional group in humic acid sulfur (HAS) in both AMD-contaminated (46%) and AMDuncontaminated paddy soils (42%). Thiol/organic monosulfide contributed a significantly lower proportion of HAS in AMDcontaminated paddy soils (8%) compared to that in AMD-uncontaminated paddy soils (21%). Within contaminated soils, the concentration of thiol/organic monosulfide was positively correlated with cation exchange capacity (CEC), moisture content (MC), and total Fe (TFe). δ 34 S FAS ranged from −6.3 to 2.7‰, similar to δ 34 S WS (−6.9 to 8.9‰), indicating that fulvic acid sulfur (FAS) was mainly derived from biogenic S-bearing organic compounds produced by assimilatory sulfate reduction. δ 34 S HAS (−11.0 to −1.6‰) were more negative compared to δ 34 S WS , indicating that dissimilatory sulfate reduction and abiotic sulfurization of organic matter were the main processes in the formation of HAS.
