The middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion project alleviates drought in northern China, especially reducing water shortage pressure in Beijing. However, after submersion, the potential release risk of metals in newly submerged soils into the water in the receiving reservoir remains unclear. Here, we assess the labile Zn in the riparian soils of Miyun Reservoir (MYR) using the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT), DGT-induced fluxes in soils (DIFS) model, and Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction. The results showed that the average Zn concentrations at three sampling sites (S2, S3, and S5) exceeded soil background value (74.8 mg/kg), indicative of Zn accumulation in the MYR. The concentrations of DGT-labile Zn varied within 39.7-62.4 mu g/L (average: 56.7 mu g/L), with the greatest value observed at 145 m at sampling site S3, attributed to anthropogenic activities in recreational areas. The DGT-labile Zn showed no correlation with classes of land, elevations, or soil properties. Sequential extraction results demonstrated that Zn predominantly existed in the residual fraction, but still showed a strong capability for resupply from the solid phase (R > 1). The DIFS model simulation results showed that Zn underwent irreversible diffusion of intra-particle metals from the solid phase to the soil solution. Therefore, the potential release risk of labile Zn in riparian soils in MYR cannot be ignored, especially for areas experiencing human disturbance.
