In order to better control the nitrate pollution in the upstream areas of Taizi River Basin, the nitrate(NO-3), chloride(Cl-), ammonium(NH+4-N), δ15 N-NO3-, δ18O-NO-3 and δ18O-H2O were analyzed. The sources of nitrate in upstream areas of Taizi River Basin in different hydrological periods were identified. The results show that: Cl-, NO-3, NH+4-N concentrations and the δ18O-NO-3 in the dry season are significantly higher than those in the wet season, and the δ15 N-NO-3 does not show significant seasonal variations; spatially, the nitrate concentrations in the north branch of Taizi River Basin(NTR)are significantly higher than those in the south branch of Taizi River Basin(STR)in the dry season; the Cl- concentrations in STR were significantly higher than those in NTR in the wet season; the trends of Cl- and NO-3 concentrations from the upper reach to the lower reach of NTR in the dry season are opposite with those in the wet season; the trends of Cl- and NO-3 concentrations from the upper reach to the lower reach of STR in the dry season are consistent with those in the wet season. It can be concluded that the nitrate is derived mainly from the soil nitrogen in dry season, whereas it is from synthetic fertilizer and soil N in the wet season; moreover, the atmospheric nitrate deposition in the upper reaches of the soil may also be a source of the nitrate in the wet season. Nitrification occurs in the process of transport of nitrate from the soil to the river in the wet season. The nitrification process affects the nitrate concentration in NTR during the dry period.
