An isotope-based approach for water balance assessment is presented and applied to estimate throughflow, residence time and catchment runoff to 70 headwater lakes on the Boreal plain and uplands of northern and north-central Alberta, Canada. The survey reveals a complex hydrologic regime with systematic variability in water balance due to local site characteristics. On average, runoff to lakes in wetland-dominated catchments is found to be significantly higher than runoff to upland-dominated lakes, with generally higher contributions from catchments with low bog/fen ratios. The isotope method, which relies primarily on water sampling and isotopic analysis, can be easily integrated in routine water quality surveys and is shown to be a practical alternative to conventional hydrological modelling for comparative analysis of water balance controls on hydrochemistry and aquatic ecology of lakes, particularly in low-relief wetland-rich terrain.
