Analysis of the Interaction between Lake and Groundwater Based on Water–Salt Balance Method and Stable Isotopic Characteristics

ABSTRACT: To better protect lacustrine ecologies and understand the evolutionary process of lake environments, it is critical to study the interacting mechanisms between lakes and the surrounding groundwater. The Wuliangsu Lake watershed is the largest wetland in the Yellow River basin and is the discharge area of the Hetao Irrigation District (HID), which is one of the three largest agricultural production areas in China. Due to the influence of human activities, the discharge water from the HID has led to the deterioration of the Wuliangsu Lake ecology and the degradation of the lake environment. Based on long-term observation data and water sampling data collected in 2021, a water–salt equilibrium model was used to analyze the recharge rate of groundwater to the lake. The contribution rate of gro
