Chaohu lake is a key water body for water pollution prevention and treatment in our country. However, it has been at a higher eutrophication level recently. Here, the surface water and groundwater in the Dianbu River Basin, a secondary tributary of Chaohu Lake, were taken as the research object. In order to test the hydrochemical composition and hydrogen and oxygen isotope values of different water bodies, 30 groups of surface water samples, 36 groups of groundwater samples, 16 groups of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope samples, and 18 groups of groundwater hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope samples were collected in August 2021 (wet season), November 2021 (normal season), and February 2022 (dry season). The seasonal and spatial variation characteristics were analyzed to explore the hydrochemical characteristics and formation mechanism of water bodies by means of mathematical statistics, Piper triangular diagram, Gibbs figures, and ion ratios. The following results were obtained: ① precipitation was the main source of surface water and groundwater in Dianbu River Basin, and the evaporation fractionation effect of surface water was more significant than that of groundwater. At different periods, the surface water was more enriched with stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen than groundwater. The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in water showed seasonal variation, relative enrichment in the wet season, and depletion in the dry season. ② Both surface water and groundwater in the Dianbu River Basin were weakly alkaline, and the concentration of ions in surface water was significantly lower than that in groundwater.
