Short summary
We studied how river water and groundwater mix beneath Tarnów, Poland, by tracking natural physicochemical “fingerprints” in water over a year. Our study shows that the Dunajec River is the main recharge source for the underground reservoir, supplying drinking water to nearly 270,000 people. We present a cost-effective, transferable workflow to trace groundwater origins and flow speed, which promotes sustainable water supply management and ensures faster responses to potential pollution.
