Abstract: Stable isotope methods are important tools for investigating the riverine hydrological processes and its variations, especially in the Yangtze Basin with densely staggered riverine network and complex hydraulic linkages. This study investigated the δ18O and δD in Yangtze River water and precipitation to reveal the spatiotemporal variations of isotopic compositions and their factors during the wet and dry seasons. The results showed that the δ18O in precipitation experienced an evident spatial variation in the Yangtze River Basin. Low δ18O values were found in the Yangtze sources and become decreased from the upper reaches to lower reaches of Yangtze River, which was closely associated with its moisture source and altitude. The δ18O and δD of river water in the dry season showed greater than those in wet season attributing to weaker evaporation enrichment and greater precipitation recharge in the wet season. Despite of the wet and dry seasons, the stable isotopic contents exhibited an increase trend from the upstream to downstream mainly attributing to the recharge of tributary and lake along the Yangtze River. In addition, this study also revealed that the effect of impoundment and drain by Three Gorges Reservoir on the river isotopic compositions was greater in the dry season than those in the wet season. These findings will provide the scientific evidences on recognizing the precipitation-river-lake hydraulic linkages and investigating the rational utilization and management of water resources in the Yangtze River Basin.

Key words: stable isotopes, river, precipitation, Three Gorges Reservoir, Yangtze River basin
