Cover Story: Identifying the key drivers of water and soil salinization in arid regions is crucial for managing basin-scale water–salt balance. Although mineral dissolution, evaporation, and transpiration collectively drive salinization processes, distinguishing their individual contributions remains challenging. This study innovatively combined deuterium excess with hydrochemical analyses. Results show that mineral dissolution is the dominant salinity source in the Barkol Basin's groundwater, rivers, and lake. However, sustained evapotranspiration of shallow groundwater drives surface salt accumulation, making wetlands and lakeshores the ultimate salt sinks. Effective management should therefore focus on regulating groundwater flow paths and water-table depths to control salt mobilization. View this paper
