Using stable isotopes as tracer to investigate hydrological condition and estimate water residence time in a plain region, Chengdu, China

Abstract The oxygen and hydrogen isotopic compositions (δ18O and δ2H) were measured on river water and precipitation collected from four sub-catchments within the upper Tuojiang River catchment. δ18O values of river water and precipitation exhibit significant seasonal variations. These seasonal vari...
