Coupled Hydrogen and Oxygen Isotope Analyses for the Mainstream of Poyanghu Lake (Jiangxi Province) and their Environmental Implications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Poyanghu Lake located in the northern Jiangxi Province is the largest freshwater lake and also the second largest lake in China. In the present contribution, several water samples have been collected and carried out for hydrogen and oxygen isotope analyses. The results suggest that they have relatively higher hydrogen and oxygen isotopic ratios than those of meteoric water. Combined with previous data, we propose that the Poyanghu Lake water display higher stable isotopic compositions due to the strong evaporation and water-rock interaction.
