The analysis of groundwater chemical kinetic constants from 2011 to 2020 is conducted, considering the spatial and temporal variations, in conjunction with maps illustrating precipitation patterns and changes in farmland area. Areas with large interannual variations in groundwater chemical kinetic constants are circled by black dashed lines, indicating strong anthropogenic impacts.
