In Nigeria irrigated agriculture is an important tool for economic growth, food security, and poverty reduction during dry periods of rain-fed agriculture. The concentration and composition of dissolved constituents in water determines its quality for irrigation use. Water quality studies strongly suggest that agriculture is a leading source of water quality problems, due to pesticides and othe...

Groundwater is an essential resource for drinking and agricultural purposes in the Al-Jouf region, Saudi Arabia. The main objective of this study to assess groundwater quality irrigation region. Physicochemical characteristics were determined, including total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, electric conductivity (EC), hardness, various anions cations. index (WQI) was calculated determine suitabilit...

Abstract Monitoring groundwater quality and analyzing geochemical processes are very crucial in dry environments, especially areas with intense agriculture inadequate irrigation management systems. A total of forty-one samples were collected from the study area analyzed for major ions chemistry. The results analyses used to investigate make assessments. hydrogeochemical characteristics revealed...

Background: Many radioactive compounds may be released into the environment and hence into the drinking water supplies due to the human activities. Radionuclides can also enter the food chain if the contaminated water is used for drinking or irrigation purposes. Objective: To estimate the annual effective dose of natural radioactive materials like 226Ra and 40K in drinking water of wells in Zan...

Oil pipeline leakages often bring catastrophic impacts on rivers along the pipeline, drinking water sources, and farm land irrigation etc. Based on the distinct spatial-temporal attributes in the analysis of oil spill, diffusion and consequences thereof, we present the theoretical concept and reasoning for leakage accidents spatial analysis through combining GIS and accident aftermath model. Sp...

The water quality of Pauri District of Uttarakhand, India has been assessed during preand postmonsoon seasons to express the suitability of water for drinking purposes. The values of turbidity and iron exceed the permissible limit prescribed by Indian Standards for drinking purpose. Some sites were also contaminated with large number of total and fecal coliform bacteria. Piper diagrams exhibit ...
