摘要: Abstract Increasing groundwater and soil salinity is a threat to the land water resources in arid regions. Global warming will likely increase of dryland river systems. In order characterize salt loading into semi-arid portion Rio Grande south New Mexico west Texas, we sampled seasonally (2009–2011) river, agricultural drains, saline groundwater. addition major element chemistry, these samples were analyzed for sulfur oxygen isotope compositions (δ34S δ18O) dissolved SO4 some cases nitrogen (δ15N NO3. Uranium isotopes (234U/238U activity ratio) also measured selected samples. The natural inflow basinal brines/groundwater + 8 + 11‰) study area was minor investigated seasons could not be detected by δ34S mass balance. However, did find localized increases (+ 2 + 5‰) that attributable loads from intersections drains with table flat associated evaporative brine + 12‰) shallow subsurface. areas, higher use irrigation, drain relatively consistent (from ~ 0 + 2‰) compared δ18O ~+ 2 + 6‰).
