英文摘要The unsaturated zone is an important link between groundwater and the land surface, and can provide storage capacity for both water and contaminants. Consequently, the solute profile of the unsaturated zone can provide much information on groundwater recharge using tracers. This study takes a rain-fed agricultural area (Luochuan loess plain) in the Chinese Loess Plateau as an example to demonstrate how much recharge information in the thick unsaturated zone can be obtained from the solute profile. The results show that the recharge rate is 36-67 mm yr(-1) and infiltration rate is 0.19 to 0.30 m yr(-1), as obtained using three methods, i.e., evaluating the Cl-peak, chloride mass balance, and nitrate levels. The amount of time needed for annual precipitation to reach the water table is 133-316 years, and the groundwater is tritium free. The nitrate introduced by human activities is mainly distributed in the upper unsaturated zone (above 6 m), and the groundwater nitrate content (3.7 to 9.6 mg l(-1) as NO3) remains at baseline level. The storage capacity of the unsaturated zone is found to delay the entrance of pollutants into the aquifer.
