AB  - Groundwater chemistry can be affected by and related to earthquakes, thus it is
      crucial to understand the hydrochemical changes and associated processes caused
      by earthquakes for post-seismic groundwater utilization. Here we reported the
      major ion concentrations changes of the Ganze Spring in response to the May 30,
      2014 Ms 6.1 Yingjiang earthquake, southwest China based on the daily time series 
      (from 1st January 2012 to 20th July 2014) of Ca(2+), Mg(2+) and HCO3(-)
      concentrations, as well as data of bulk strain and Peak Ground Velocity (PGV)
      recorded at a nearby station. The results showed that the entire hydrochemical
      response process can be divided into two stages after the earthquake occurred:
      1). decline stage which was characterized by an increasingly decline of the three
      ion concentrations, indicating a gradually significant dilution effect. At first,
      the relationship of molar concentrations of ions showed no obvious changes; but
      later as the rate of decrease in ion concentrations increased, the relationship
      between Ca(2+) and HCO3(-) reversed from Ca(2+) excess to HCO3(-) excess,
      probably resulting from a relatively decreased Ca(2+) contribution from
      dissolution of gypsum and dolomite due to dilution in mixing water. 2). recover
      stage when the ion concentrations recovered gradually with relatively lower
      values than that at pre-earthquake, revealing the reduction of dilute water
      inflow. In combination with the bulk strain and PGV data, the study suggested
      that major ion concentrations changes are attributed to dilution effect due to
      new fracture creation or unclogging/clogging of fractures triggered by the
      earthquake. The results could enhance the understanding of earthquake induced
      water chemistry changes and could have implications for water resources
      management and security in tectonically active areas.
