Different evaporation slopes and deuterium excesses of individual aquifers indicate that there are different evaporation rates and residence times among them. The Taiyuan Formation limestone aquifer has a stronger hydraulic connection with the surface water compared with the Ordovician limestone aquifer. Isotope composition of the limestone water is associated with mixing between shallow recharge groundwater and a contribution including mineralized fluids from the deep aquifer. The primary factor responsible for δD and δ8O excursion may be attributed to water-rock interaction in the limestone aquifer.
