“…These techniques have been widely used to obtain groundwater information such as its source, recharge and the interaction between groundwater and surface water (De Vries and Simmers, 2002;Yuko et al, 2002;Yang et al, 2012a). The technique of stable isotopes as excellent tracers has been widely used by many scholars in the study of hydrological cycle (Chen et al, 2011;Cervi et al, 2012;Garvelmann et al, 2012;Yang et al, 2012a;Hamed and Dhahri, 2013;Kamdee et al, 2013). Greater knowledge on the origin and behavior of major ions in groundwater can enhance the understanding of the geochemical evolution of groundwater.…”

“…The soluble ions in natural waters mainly derive from rock and soil weathering (Lasaga et al, 1994), anthropogenic input and partly from the precipitation input. In order to make an analysis of the formation mechanisms of hydrochemistry, Gibbs diagrams have been widely used in hydrogeochemical studies (Feth and Gibbs, 1971;Naseem et al, 2010;Marghade et al, 2012;Yang et al, 2012b;Xing et al, 2013).…”

Abstract. A series of changes in groundwater systems caused by groundwater exploitation in energy base have been of great concern to hydrogeologists. The research aims to identify the origin and geochemical evolution of groundwater in the Subei Lake basin under the influence of human activities. Water samples were collected, and major ions and stable isotopes (δ18O, δD) were analyzed. In terms of hydrogeological conditions and the analytical results of hydrochemical data, groundwater can be classified into three types: the Quaternary groundwater, the shallow Cretaceous groundwater and the deep Cretaceous groundwater. Piper diagram and correlation analysis were used to reveal the hydrochemical characteristics of water resources. The dominant water type of the lake water was Cl-Na type, which was in accordance with hydrochemical characteristics of inland salt lakes; the predominant hydrochemical types for groundwater were HCO3–Ca, HCO3–Na and mixed HCO3–Ca–Na–Mg types. The groundwater chemistry is mainly controlled by dissolution/precipitation of anhydrite, gypsum, halite and calcite. The dedolomitization and cation exchange are also important factors. Rock weathering is confirmed to play a leading role in the mechanisms responsible for the chemical composition of groundwater. The stable isotopic values of oxygen and hydrogen in groundwater are close to the local meteoric water line, indicating that groundwater is of modern local meteoric origin. Unlike significant differences in isotopic values between shallow groundwater and deep groundwater in the Habor Lake basin, shallow Cretaceous groundwater and deep Cretaceous groundwater have similar isotopic characteristics in the Subei Lake basin. Due to the evaporation effect and dry climatic conditions, heavy isotopes are more enriched in lake water than in groundwater. The low slope of the regression line of δ18O and δD in lake water could be ascribed to a combination of mixing and evaporation under conditions of low humidity. Comparison of the regression line for δ18O and δD showed that lake water in the Subei Lake basin contains more heavily isotopic composition than that in the Habor Lake basin, indicating that lake water in the discharge area has undergone stronger evaporation than lake water in the recharge area. Hydrochemical and isotopic information of utmost importance has been provided to decision makers by the present study so that a sustainable groundwater management strategy can be designed for the Ordos energy base.

“…Meanwhile, Uranium ''isotope'' is vital evidence for groundwater chemical evolution and a tracer used in groundwater transport studies (Grabowski and Bem, 2011;Roback et al, 2001). Furthermore, various isotopes are commonly used in studies of groundwater recharge and groundwater-surface water interactions (Tweed et al, 2011;Kamdee et al, 2013).…”

“…As groundwater is unaffected by evaporation, the evidence of evaporation found in groundwater indicates interaction with sur-face water, which has a high evaporation rate and different isotopic signature. To produce a more complete interpretation of the groundwater systems, other information is required, for example as may be obtained using other isotopes such as tritium ( 3 H) and carbon ( 14 C), to study the age of groundwater [21]. In addition, physical and hydrochemical data in groundwater can be used to study groundwater movement, including groundwater contamination.…”

This study was conducted in the districts of Kaeng Khoi and Muang, located in the center of Saraburiprovince, Central Thailand. The purpose was to use a stable isotope technique to iden-tify recharge areas where rainfall infiltrates. Analysis of stable isotopes in groundwater, surface water and rainwater were conducted in September 2014. Isotope compositions of groundwater were found to have δD values that ranged from -37.55‰ to -48.04‰ while δ18O values ranged from -5.30‰ to -7.34‰. The Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) in the study area was indis-tinguishablefrom the Bangkok Local Meteoric Water Line (BKK LMWL), and the stable iso-tope values of rainwater in area were more depleted than BKK LMWL. The isotope compo-sitions of surface water revealed that the effect of evaporation could divide the groundwater into two groups, with the first group locally receiving rainfall and the second group interacting directly with surface water. Therefore, care must be taken to prevent groundwater contamination in the latter group due to polluted surface water caused by human activities.
