Based on stable isotopic mass balance and water balance
a stable isotopic model is built. According to the measured stable isotopic data and relevant hydro meteorological data of the Yamzho Lake
the mean leakage is calculated by the stable isotopic model. Factors affecting the lake water leakage are discussed
too. If the factors do not change
the δ18O depletes more with the water leakage. The result shows that leakage is 30.6% of the recharge rate. The model has some guidance significance to study stable isotope variation of inland lake.
