Calculating groundwater mixing ratios in multi-aquifers based on statistical methods: a case study

Samples of river water and groundwater from Quaternary (QA), sandstone (SA), Taiyuan formation (TA), and Ordovician limestone (OA) aquifers in the Suxian coal-mining district, Anhui Province, China were collected. Their physicochemical properties, and major ion and isotopic compositions were determi...
