“…Gibbs diagrams and rock end-member element ratio diagrams can be used to analyze the hydrogeochemical origins of various groundwater. The Gibbs diagram is widely used to identify the natural mechanisms (rock weathering, precipitation, and evaporation) that affect the dissolved chemical constituents of surface water and groundwater (Gu et al, 2022;Bian et al, 2023). Based on Figures 5A, B, it can be observed that the majority of sampling points in the study area are distributed in the weathered rock zone and are far from the influence of atmospheric rainfall.…”

As one of China's nine border provinces, Jilin Province is an important window for China's “Belt and Road” to open up to the north, and an important channel for China's foreign trade and foreign exchanges. Therefore, understanding hydrogeochemical characteristics is very important for effective water resources management in Jilin Province. A total of 64 groundwater samples were collected from 32 monitoring Wells in Jilin Province. Use of hydrogeochemical analysis techniques, WQI index and human health risk index methods to assess hydrogeochemical processes and groundwater quality, including the determination of hydrogeochemical parameters, conventional ions, trace elements and stable isotopes (δD and δ18O). The results show that the groundwater is slightly alkaline, the cations are mainly Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+, and the anions are mainly HCO3-, Cl−, and SO42-. Most of the groundwater samples belong to Ca-HCO3 and Na-HCO3 types, which are formed by the dissolution of calcite, dolomite, gypsum, silicates and carbonates. Stable isotope analysis shows that groundwater recharge in Jilin mainly comes from atmospheric precipitation at an altitude of 1,430~2,348 m. The strong correlation between trace elements indicates a common source. Most of the groundwater quality index (WQI) in the study area is Class I to Class III, and hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) are both below 1. This indicates excellent water quality and minimal health risks associated with human consumption. It is worth noting that trace elements are enriched in the Tanlu fault zone. It provides scientific guidance for the utilization and allocation of groundwater resources in Jilin Province.

The Perrot Spring (1300 m a.s.l.), located to the right of the Chalamy valley in the Monte Avic Natural Park (Valle d’Aosta, Italy), is an important source of drinking water for the municipality of Champdepraz. This spring is located on a large slope characterised by the presence of a Quaternary cover of various origins (glacial, glaciolacustrine, and landslide) above the bedrock (essentially serpentinite referred to the Zermatt–Saas Zone, Penninic Domain). Water emerges at the contact between the landslide bodies and impermeable or semi-permeable glaciolacustrine deposits. The aim of this study is to define the processes and recharge zones of this spring. The analysis of the data revealed the presence of two contributions to the Perrot Spring input: a spring thaw contribution defined by a small increase in flow and an autumn contribution from rainwater infiltration. The low average temperature and low variation of the annual temperature (4.8–6.5 °C) suggest a sufficiently deep flow circuit. Chemical analyses showed a groundwater chemistry consistent with the regional geology: the hydrochemical facies is calcium–magnesium bicarbonate and isotopic analyses (δ2H and δ18O) of rainfall and spring water suggested a recharge altitude of about 2100 m a.s.l. In conclusion, this study makes it possible to recognize the water inputs to the spring discharge and to delineate its recharge area, which can be proposed to implement strategies to protect the resource.
