anthropogenic inputs of nutrients such as NO 3− in groundwater and aquatic environments.
Nitrate concentrations, hydrochemistry, and isotope data (δ 18 OH 2 O, δ 2 H–H 2 O, 15 N–
NO 3, and δ 18 O–NO 3) from boreholes (BH), hand dug wells (HDW), and surface water
(SW) were analyzed. The objectives of the study were to identify potential nitrate sources
and their proportional contributions using an isotope mixing model (SIAR). The results …
