الوصف: Karst water quality is one of the most important environmental issues in karst areas. The study’s purpose was to investigate dissolved heavy metal pollution and health risk assessment in karst water basins around mines. River water and groundwater samples were analyzed by principal component analysis, correlation analysis, water quality index, hazard quotient, and hazard index. Median concentrations of dissolved heavy metals in the Sidi River were similar to the world average with a slightly alkaline characteristic. The concentrations of most dissolved heavy metals in river water were higher than those in groundwater. The concentrations of Zn, Pb, and Cd around the mine exceeded the limits of drinking water indicators. The poor water quality samples with high water quality index values were distributed around the mine. Lead (Pb), Zn, As, Cd, and Cr were potentially threatening metals in the study area. The pollution level of dissolved heavy metals in the Sidi River was at a medium level compared with other rivers worldwide. Principal component analysis and correlation analysis showed that Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Mn, Fe, As, and Sr mainly came from mine drainage; Ca2+, Mg2+, and Cr mainly came from the contribution of carbonate rocks; Na+ and K+ were related to local human agricultural activities. The concentrations of dissolved heavy metals in groundwater were affected by karst aquifers. The results of this study can provide a data reference for water resources prevention and human health protection in the Sidi River’s karst basin and similar karst basins.
