The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) has greatly improved the water shortage in the North China Plain. However, the impact of the SNWDP on the evolution of groundwater chemistry, especially fluoride and salinity, was still unknown. Cangzhou, one of the recipient cities of SNWDP and suf...
