| Abstract | This study uses major ions and environment isotopes ($^{87}$Sr/$^{86}$Sr, δ$^{13}$C and $^{14}$C) together with a proposed physical model to constrain hydrogeochemical processes, groundwater ages, recharge rates and physical parameters in China’s Jilantai Basin. The major processes are identified using major ions, which include calcite dissolution and the exchange of Na for Ca in upstream areas and gypsum dissolution, carbonate-incongruent dissolution and silicate weathering in downstream areas. Sr and major ions indicate the dissolution of carbonate minerals or gypsum and silicate weathering. $^{87}$Sr/$^{86}$Sr variations indicate that shallow groundwater in discharge areas consists of more than 90 % groundwater from rainfall in the Ulan Buh Desert (UBD), and middle groundwater comes entirely from the Helan Mountains. The major ions, $^{87}$Sr/$^{86}$Sr ratio and physical model reflect that inter-aquifer mixing has occurred between shallow unconfined and upper confined aquifers, but not in middle confined formations. The $^{14}$C ages range from the present to 15 ka, and the distribution of $^{14}$C residence times indicate that inter-aquifer flow occurs on a regional scale and over the long term between shallow unconfined and upper confined aquifers. The travel times using the physical model proposed in this paper are comparable to the $^{14}$C ages, indicating that this model is suitable for calculating travel times for the middle confined aquifers that have effective aquitards. The vertical leakage rates are 0.01–0.03 m/day, and the long-term recharge rates are 15 mm/year (approximately 5 % of annual rainfall). The groundwater from this region is a locally valuable resource, and the correct understanding of groundwater flow systems, inter-aquifer mixing and recharge rates is critical to managing these groundwater resources. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
