Short summary
Lake Taihu is the largest eutrophic lake in China that is shallow with a dense river network. Eutrophication is frequently observed in the lake due to excess pollutant loadings. Understanding water transport is essential for solving the problem. We developed an age-tracking rainfall mixing model to calculate residence time of rain and river water using isotope data. The variation of mixing ratio of rainwater is also estimated. The isotope data indicates the control factors of mixing in the lake.

Short summary
Travel time distribution provides fundamental information on water circulation and subsurface mixing in aquifers. This study develops a multi-fidelity model to overcome limitations of previous methods to estimate time-variant travel time distribution. The multi-fidelity model combines the efficiency of high-fidelity model and accuracy of low-fidelity model. In the model with a low Peclet number and large spatial scale, the multi-fidelity model is a better method than the other numerical methods.
