Abstract This study considered three different water quality indices (WQIs) for groundwater data collected from the middle-west part of Bangladesh, and quantitative results were justified with globally accepted guidelines. It compared between Canadian WQI Weighted Average WQI, Mierels drinking irrigation purposes, respectively. The revealed that method categorized as ‘fair’ while model showed ‘...

Groundwater quality and quantity both are important for the survival of human beings on this planet. In present study an attempt has been made to assess groundwater at mass using points. To fulfil objectives study, four sites (Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Muradnagar, Modinagar) were selected along metro line construction from Delhi Meerut. At all these sites, workers projects living working drinking p...

groundwater quality has a direct impact on human life. the main objective of this research is to investigate changes in groundwater quality and levels in lake urmia basin. tasoj and shiramin plains are selected as a study area. the suitability of groundwater quality for drinking and agricultural purposes were assessed using schoeller and wilcox diagram. according to the wilcox classification, t...

In the absence of available surface water in semi-arid areas, groundwater has become the main water resource for various purposes. In many places in southern India, groundwater even is the only source of drinking water in rural areas. Therefore, quality and quantity aspects of groundwater management constitute acute issues for the well-being of Indian rural populations. This study proposes to u...

Population growth, urbanization, pollution, and climate change pose urgent water challenges in cities. In this study, the sustainability of integrated water resources management in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) was evaluated using the City Blueprint approach. The City Blueprint is a set of 24 dedicated indicators divided over 8 categories (i.e., water security, water quality, drinking water, sanitati...

A VDEAL (V is the lithology of the vadose zone, D is the groundwater depth, E is the degree of groundwater exploitation, A is the aquifer characteristics and L is the land use pattern.) model, which is suitable for a vulnerability evaluation of the groundwater in arid inland areas, and that is based on the GOD (G is the groundwater status, O is overburden feature and D is groundwater depth) met...

This study mapped and analyzed groundwater potential using two different models, logistic regression (LR) and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and compared the results. A spatial database was constructed for groundwater well data and groundwater influence factors. Groundwater well data with a high potential yield of ≥70 m3/d were extracted, and 859 locations (70%) were used for ...
