In the summer of 2020, the water samples from 26 lakes were collected mainly in the southern and eastern Tibetan Plateau. At the same time, the water samples from 3 lakes in the Hoh Xil region were collected from October to November 2020. Put the collected lake water samples into plastic bottles. Some samples are titrated on-site with an alkalinity kit to obtain the concentration of CO32- and HCO3- ions. The rest samples are stored in the refrigerator. After they are brought back to the laboratory, the concentration of main cations K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+ is tested by ICP-OES, and the concentration of HNO -, SO42-, F- and Cl- ions are meastured by anion chromatography.
