Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for Authors- Introduction doesn't have any citation - Authors needs to refer and cite the recently published for this research.
- In introduction does't find the aim,scope,objectives and novel of the manuscript - It should be in last para of the manuscript
- Provide latitude and longitude of study area
- Improve the quality of Fig 1
- The distribution of sampling points is illustrated in Error! Reference source not found.. - Rewrite the sentence - It doesn't complete the sentence
- Provide methodological flow chart to section 2.3
- As shown in Error! Reference source not found., all groundwater samples from the study area fall within the TDS range of 38–229 mg/L, with Na⁺/(Na⁺ + Ca²⁺) ratios mostly below 0.5 and Cl⁻/(Cl⁻ + HCO₃⁻) ratios below 0.38. - Rewrite the sentence.
- As shown in Error! Reference source not found., in the cation triangular diagram, the sample points are located along the Mg²⁺–Ca²⁺ line toward the (Na⁺ + K⁺) end - Rewrite the sentence
- As shown in Error! Reference source not found., only two points have (Mg²⁺ + Ca²⁺) 31> (HCO₃⁻ + SO₄²⁻) - Rewrite the sentence
- The other points are all on the 1:1 line. In conjunction 326
with Error! Reference source not found., this suggests that additional anions, such as silicate ions, are needed to balance the charges - Rewrite the sentence - As shown in Error! Reference source not found., the statistical analysis software 335
SPSS was used to calculate the Pearson correlation coefficients for Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, HCO₃⁻, NO₃⁻, K⁺, Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, NO₃⁻, TDS, and H₂SiO₃ in the groundwater of the study area - Rewrite the sentence. - Figure 13 and 14 need more explanations
- Conclusion should provide as single para

Hydrochemical Characteristics and Causes of Groundwater in Taoshan Granite Body, Yushan Uplift Area, South Jiangxi, China
The paper approach statistics tools, in addition to commonly employs methods by understanding Hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in on area of China.
In general, is interesting the article, both needs minimum revision because hay very questions.
Why does not show trace elements what was analyzed?
Why does it not show the quality assurance of the measurements performed?
Why not present ionic balance of the water chemistry as check on analytical quality?
Why not present isotopes mentioned in line 80?
Additionally
Line 115 Reference of meeting standards of therapeutic mineral water.
Line 130. Could you briefly indicate what these protocols for transporting and storing samples?
Line 134. The methodology used cannot be verified. You could add a table with the fundaments of used methods
Line 277. According to figure 8, the relationship should be SO42-/Ca2+
Check all superscript charges and missing charges on some ions
The Figures are not referenced
