Short Summary

This data publication presents hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope and chlorine concentration data from surface water and groundwater collected in the Wuding River in July 2024, intended to support research on hydrological resilience and baseflow buffering under extreme drought conditions on the Loess Plateau, China.

Objective

• To provide a comprehensive dataset of stable isotopes (hydrogen and oxygen) and chlorine concentrations from surface water and groundwater in the Wuding River to facilitate studies on hydrological resilience and baseflow buffering, especially in the context of extreme drought.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Wuding River, Loess Plateau, China.
• Temporal Scale: July 2024.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not specified for this data publication.
• Data sources: In-situ measurements of hydrogen stable isotopes, oxygen stable isotopes, and chlorine concentrations from collected surface water and groundwater samples.

Main Results

This publication delivers a dataset consisting of stable isotope ratios for hydrogen and oxygen, along with chlorine concentration measurements, derived from surface water and groundwater samples collected from the Wuding River during July 2024. This dataset serves as foundational empirical evidence for hydrological investigations.

Contributions

This dataset provides crucial empirical evidence for advancing the understanding of hydrological processes, specifically baseflow buffering and hydrological resilience in drought-affected regions such as the Loess Plateau. It offers specific isotopic and chemical tracers essential for water source identification and mixing analyses, thereby supporting future research in isotope hydrology.
