Tracing surface water dynamics and groundwater recharge at Inle Lake (Southern Shan State, Myanmar) using stable water isotopes

Abstract

An isotopic monitoring (δ2H, δ18O) of the Inle lake (Southern Shan State, Myanmar) permitted to define the isotopic fingerprint of the lake in the three different seasons (rainy, winter and summer), and to support evidences of groundwater contribution to aquifer recharge in absence of precipitations
