Characteristics of hydrogen and oxygen isotope of reclaimed water, surface water and groundwater are essential to recognize hydraulic connection and regional hydrologic cycle. In order to obtain stable isotope (δ18O, δD) characteristics and detect causes of differences among different water bodies (precipitation, reclaimed water, surface water and groundwater in different depths), field investigation and water samples collection were conducted separately in 2014 and 2015 at reclaimed water irrigation district located in the southeast suburb of Beijing. The results showed that: local meteoric water line of Beijing was expressed with the function of δD=7.27 δ18O+2.43 (R2=0.93,n=198) which was well used as isotopic baseline. δ18O value in reclaimed water ranged from -7.4‰ to -6.4‰ and δD ranged from -56‰ to -52‰. Isotopic composition of surface water ranged from -8.2‰ to -4.8‰ in δ18O and from -64‰ to -49‰ in δD. As for groundwater, the wide range in δ18O varied from -13.2‰ to -6‰ and δD ranged from -92‰ to -52‰ respectively. Reclaimed water and surface water carried heavier isotope composition than groundwater, with a descending order of surface water > reclaimed water > groundwater in δ18O and reclaimed water > surface water > groundwater in δD. After the fresh water being used and treated, reclaimed water was enriched in heavy hydrogen and oxygen isotope due to evaporation fractionation. Generally, the heavy isotope becomes enriched gradually along the river flow, while the sudden drop phenomena could be ascribed to entrance of depleted isotope groundwater. On account of slow circulating, the wetland water recharged by the Hanhe River had undergone strongest evaporation which was heaviest isotopic concentration in all the samples. Generally, the isotopic composition of deep groundwater (depth >80 m) was much more depleted than that of shallow groundwater (depth <80 m). The most depleted isotopic value of groundwater at depths of 300 m and 150 m are recharged by the infiltration of precipitation that occurred in colder paleoclimate rather than in modern climate, and no influence occured from reclaimed water. Shallow groundwater from monitoring wells which are located 10 m away from the waterways was dramatically recharged by river and canal water nearby, however lateral flow of depleted groundwater penetrating to some wells adjacent river channel was observed. It is indicated that vertical infiltration of reclaimed water, precipitation and irrigation water with groundwater play vital roles in shallow groundwater recharge at reclaimed water irrigation district.
