A three-component hydrograph separation based on geochemical tracers in a tropical mountainous headwater catchment in northern Thailand

Abstract: Abstract. Land-use change in the mountainous parts of northern Thailand is reflected by an increased application of agrochemicals, which may be lost to surface and groundwater. The close relation between flow paths and contaminant transport within hydrological systems requires recognizing and understanding the dominant hydrological processes. To date, the vast majority of studies on runoff generation have been conducted in temperate regions. Tropical regions suffer from a general lack of data, and little is kn… Show more

“…In all cases, the spring water displayed higher values with large variations; this suggests that some runoff could originate from deeper sources, from fissures and fractures in the rock, where longer residence and contact times have 10 increased the ion concentrations. Similar evidence was observed in other headwater catchments (Hugenschmidt et al, 2014;Scanlon et al, 2001). However, attention should be paid to the outliers, which provide clear evidence of meltwater resurgence from the glacier.…”

“…In the arid and semi-arid areas, a combination of hydrology and environmental isotope technology ( 18 O, D) has been demonstrated to be a meritorious tool for investigating the process of water circulation [7,8]. Isotopes of particular interest for hydrological studies include the stable isotopes of water ( 18 O, D), which are incorporated within the water molecule (H 2 18 O, HD 16 O) [7], and because of isotope fractionation, they show regular spatial and temporal variations with the water cycle phase changes and diffusion [9][10][11].…”

“…It is reasonable to use isotopic techniques to study the water sources and supply mechanism of surface water and groundwater [6,[12][13][14][15], the evaporation of water bodies, and the mixing processes among various headwaters [16][17][18]. Isotope hydrograph separation (IHS) could provide a quantitative method to differentiate the replenishment of rivers for water resource management, especially in ungauged basins.…”
