Resumo

Water isotopic ratios 18 O/ 16 O, 2 H/H and 34 S/ 32 S in dissolved sulfates were measured to determine sulfur provenance and dominant processes of transport, and, distribution of As and metals in surface waters in the mining district of Taxco. Zinc, Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and As were analyzed in river and stream waters located nearby mine tailings. δ 18 O and δD values (dry season) showed a lower slope (δD = 3.998 * δ 18 O − 29.02) than the Global Meteoric Water Line (GMWL, δD = 8 * δ 18 O + 10) indicating an evaporation process. In the rainy season, the slope (δD = 6.109 * δ 18 O − 9.69) approximates to
