Isotopic and hydrogeochemical characterization of groundwater and surface water from a mine site in Tanzania
This study used the hydrochemical properties of water to reveal the causes of water quality degradation. The results showed that most samples located downstream of the mine tailings dam were slightly acidic with pH as low as 4.6. Samples with high levels of Na+, Cl−, and could not be isotopically...
