Batiaghata Upazila, Khulna District in south-west coastal region of Bangladesh is the mostly saline affected area, where agriculture activities are mainly dependent on rainfall. 23 water samples from surface water and shallow tube well (STW) were collected in the monsoon season and analyzed for physico-chemical properties to classify them according to salinity hazard. Electrical Conductivity (E...

Consumptive water use from riparian evapotranspiration is a large component of many semiarid basins’ groundwater budgets — comparable in magnitude to mountain front recharge and surface water discharge. In most long-term groundwater studies the amount of water used by phreatophytes is estimated by empirical formulae and extrapolation of measurements taken elsewhere. These approaches are problem...

Hydrogeological investigation have been carried out in Dantewada district. Groundwater samples were collected from selected locations in month of September 2013 and analyzed for major and minor cations & anions. Piper Diagram identified Ca-Mg-HCO3 dominantin water in most of the samples. The dominance of anions and cations were of the order of HCO3 > SO4 2>Cl > NO3 > PO4 2and Mg 2+ >Ca 2+ > Na ...

Groundwater is a vital source of fresh water for drinking and agricultural purposes in the region Hatiya Island, Bangladesh, yet it subject to contamination by natural anthropogenic activities. Over time, has resulted variety negative effects on human health. This research aims examine groundwater hydrogeochemical characterization suitability irrigation different indices utilizing combined geoc...

This paper presents results of an assessment of dominant hydro-geochemical processes controlling groundwater chemical composition, using an integrated application of cluster analysis and factor analysis. The area is located in south of saline playa and in Arak city. Cluster analysis classified samples into two main clusters according to their dominant chemical composition: cluster A (dominant c...
