Assessment of the changes in contributions from water sources to streamflow induced by urbanization in a small-sized catchment in Southeastern Brazil using the dual stable isotopes of water (18O and 2H)
Urban growth often results in changes in the urban hydrological cycle, causing impacts on water availability in densely populated regions. The water isotopologues can provide relevant information about the origin of water under different hydrogeological scenarios, aiding to implement better strategies for water conservation in coupled natural-urbanized environments. In this study, the isotopic compositions of multiple water sources were assessed in a pristine (Ipanema National Forest, FLONA) and an urbanized (Lavapés catchment, SOR) watershed located in the Sorocaba River basin (State of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil), seeking to understand the causes of isotopic variability and to determine the relative contribution from different sources to streamflow, using the Bayesian mixing model approach. Differences in isotopic composition were observed, as FLONA yielded the most depleted water (ca. −7.5 ‰ \(\delta\)18O for surface and groundwater and ca. + 11.0 ‰ d-excess), while SOR yielded the most enriched water (ca. −5.5‰ \(\delta\)18O for surface and groundwater and −3.8‰ \(\delta\)18O for the water supply system), with evidence of evaporation (ca. + 8.2 ‰ d-excess). The differences observed in isotopic compositions are related to a combination of different factors, such as geological framework, groundwater recharge, and evaporation associated with the Itupararanga water reservoir. Both in FLONA and SOR, groundwater discharge is the most important factor that regulates streamflow. However, in SOR, losses from the water supply system were almost constant along the year, representing an important contribution. The results presented here highlight the use of isotope hydrology techniques to solve problems related to urban hydrology.- 12 April 2022

The Forest Effects on the Isotopic Composition of Rainfall in the Northwestern Amazon Basin
In the Amazon basin, intense precipitation recycling across the forest significantly modifies the isotopic composition of rainfall (δ18O, δD). In the tropical hydrologic cycle, such an effect can be identified through deuterium excess (dxs), yet it remains unclear what environmental factors control dxs, increasing the uncertainty of dxs‐based paleoclimate reconstructions. Here we present a 4‐year record of the isotopic composition of rainfall, monitored in the northwestern Amazon basin. We analyze the isotopic variations as a function of the air mass history, based on atmospheric back trajectory analyses, satellite observations of precipitation upstream, leaf area index, and simulated moisture recycling along the transport pathway. We show that the precipitation recycling in the forest exerts a significant control on the isotopic composition of precipitation in the northwestern Amazon basin, especially on dxs during the dry season (r = 0.71). Applying these observations to existing speleothem and pollen paleorecords, we conclude that winter precipitation increased after the mid‐Holocene, as the expansion of the forest allowed for more moisture recycling. Therefore, forest effects should be considered when interpreting paleorecords of past precipitation changes.

Pensando sobre mobilidade, dieta e mudança cultural: análises isotópicas no sítio Armação do Sul, Florianópolis/SC
Há uma intensificação nos processos de mudança associados aos sítios conchíferos do litoral catarinense a partir de 2000 AP, marcada por acontecimentos como a diminuição no número de sítios, a diminuição no uso de conchas em sua formação e o aparecimento da cerâmica. Com o objetivo de compreender melhor essas mudanças e entendendo o sítio Armação do Sul (Florianópolis/SC) como elemento chave para essa compreensão, foram realizadas análises isotópicas de estrôncio (87Sr/86Sr), carbono (δ13C) e nitrogênio (δ15N) nos indivíduos que nele se encontram sepultados, juntamente com o estabelecimento de uma cronologia estratigraficamente referenciada. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os processos de mudança se desenrolaram diferentemente em porções distintas do litoral catarinense e que, no caso do sítio Armação do Sul, as mudanças observadas estão relacionadas a um quadro que envolve maior circulação e incorporação de indivíduos de diferentes partes do litoral central e mudança na dieta dos indivíduos do sexo masculino. There is an intensification in the processes of change associated with the shell-matrix sites of the Santa Catarina coast from 2000 BP onwards, marked by events such as the decrease in the number of sites, the decrease in the use of shells in their formation and the introduction of pottery. To better understand these changes, and taking the Armação do Sul site (Florianópolis/SC) as a key element in this understanding, we performed strontium (87Sr/86Sr), carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopic analyzes on the individuals buried there, together with the establishment of a stratigraphically referenced chronology. The results indicate that the processes of change occurred differently in different parts of the Santa Catarina coast and that, in the case of the Armação do Sul site, the observed changes are related to an increased circulation and incorporation of individuals from different parts of the central coast and dietary change in male individuals.

CARACTERIZAÇÃO HIDROQUÍMICA DO SISTEMA AQUÍFERO BAURU NO ESPIGÃO DE MARÍLIA (SP)
A presença do bário nas águas subterrâneas do Sistema Aquífero Bauru (SAB) tem preocupado os gestores, pois a não conformidade legal dessas ocorrências pode gerar prejuízo econômico resultante da proibição de utilização de poços, bem como necessidade de estudos de alternativas de abastecimento para a substituição do recurso. Visando diagnosticar problemas de qualidade de água e fornecer subsídios para gestão da qualidade de água subterrânea para os órgãos reguladores e donos de poços de abastecimento, um estudo foi feito na região do Espigão de Marília, através de revisão bibliográfica, levantamento de bases cartográficas, cadastramento de poços outorgados, coleta de amostras de água subterrânea para análises físico-químicas e químicas, consolidação e interpretação dos dados. Os resultados mostram que as anomalias de bário detectadas se encontram nas porções mais superficiais do Sistema Aquífero Bauru (SAB). As maiores concentrações foram detectadas em poços que atravessam ambos os aquíferos Marília e Adamantina. Os poços que apresentam as maiores concentrações de Ba encontram-se nos municípios de Gália, Garça, Oriente, Pompéia e Marília.
