Identifying the pattern of shallow groundwater hydrochemistry and its driving factors in a typical estuarine delta of Poyang Lake watershed, China: Insights into water quality asse... by Hongxiang Fan, Fan Song, Huawu Wu, Yao Du, Ruiyu Lei, Mengyao Ding, Kaiwen Li, Jing Li, Congsheng Fu

“…Moreover, the overall water quality of shallow groundwater was assessed according to the ionic compositions. New hydrological insights for the region: (1) Shallow groundwater chemistry was influenced by weathering silicate and carbonate from ionic and Gibbs plots, which is highly associated with the distribution of the carbonate rock fissure-karst aquifer in the study region. (2) The contribution of groundwater to river water varied from 53.2 % to 71.5 % via isotopic analysis, suggesting that groundwater dominate the component of river water. (3) Most samples from cluster types are suitable for drinking and irrigation use except for sites from Cluster 6, which were characterized by the higher concentrations of Cl−, NO3− and SO42−.…”
