Mechanisms of in-situ silicate weathering along the groundwater flow paths and its contribution to groundwater arsenic (As) in reducing aquifers remain elusive. Elemental contents and lithium isotopic compositions of aquifer sediments and groundwater were used to reveal the mechanisms for in-situ silicate weathering and its effect on As enrichment in groundwater. We found that As concentrations in groundwater were gradually increased from the alluvial fan to the flat plain. The δ<ce:sup loc="post">7</ce:sup>Li values in groundwater also showed an increasing trend. Rocks and aquifer sediments were depleted in heavy Li. The negative correlation between Al/Si ratio and δ<ce:sup loc="post">7</ce:sup>Li values in the aquifer sediments from the transition area and the flat plain indicated that hydrodynamic sorting promoted silicate weathering during riverine transportation, while stable Al/Si ratio, increased Li contents, and decreased δ<ce:sup loc="post">7</ce:sup>Li values from shallow to deep aquifers showed that in-situ silicate weathering was also enhanced in deep aquifer sediments.
