Egypt is one of the most vulnerable countries to the potential impacts and risks of climate change. More than 95 % of the water budget of Egypt is received from the River Nile, which is very sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes. Aswan High Dam (AHD) reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, is almost the sole source of freshwater to the country; hence, Egypt reali...

Excessive population growth and high water demands have significantly increased extractions from deep semi-deep wells in the arid regions of Iran. This has negatively affected quality different areas. The Water Quality Index (WQI) is a suitable tool to assess such impacts. study used WQI fuzzy hierarchical analysis process index (FAHP-WQI) investigate status 96 agricultural Yazd-Ardakan Plain, ...

Introduction: Due to water scarcity and increased water consumption during the past years, the importance of water in terms of transmission of diseases, as well as Iran's climate, groundwater aquifers are known as the most important resources of drinking water supply. Using the Water Quality Index (WQI) is considered as strong managerial tool for decision making in water resource management. Th...

Groundwater quality in Hyderabad has special significance and needs great attention of all concerned since it is the major alternate source of domestic, industrial and drinking water supply. The present study monitors the ground water quality, relates it to the land use / land cover and maps such quality using Remote sensing and GIS techniques for a part of Hyderabad metropolis. Thematic maps f...

Abstract The objective of this research was to arrive at a better assessment the quality surface water in Constantine region. focus on comparison three classical indices WQINSF (National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index), WQICCME (Canadian Council Ministers Environment Index) and WQIAP (weighted arithmetical development new index prediction by ANN (artificial neural network) WQI indice...

The primary task that is facing most developing countries the untreated disposal of wastewater into water bodies. In order to meet needs future generations, integrated resources should be managed within a sustainable method. This study illustrates assessment and judgment suitability Tigris River for drinking purposes using quality index (WQI) selection mostly significant WQ parameters affect de...

Abstract This study reported the results of groundwater quality for drinking and irrigation purposes in Kurukshetra district, Haryana, India. Twelve parameters, namely pH, TDS, TH, sodium (Na+), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl−), sulfate (SO42−), bicarbonate (HCO3−), nitrate (NO3−), fluoride (F−) were evaluated Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated. Based on WQ...

Abstract In this study, a customized WQI (Seoul water quality index, S-WQI) for urban rivers that can ultimately reflect their characteristics was developed by modifying and supplementing the existing Bascarόn calculation method through linkage with statistical methods such as factor analysis. We used data generated monthly at 17 monitoring networks (WQMNs) in Seoul 18 years, from 2002 to 2019....

This research developed a Water Quality Index (WQI) for public supply in the Vale do Rio Pardo Region, RS, Brazil (WQI-VRP), from database of 13th Regional Health Coordination, totaling 1175 samples. A filtration process resulted 285 samples with variables free residual chlorine, turbidity, apparent color, pH, fluoride, total coliforms and Escherichia coli. For water consumption purposes, by Sa...

The Chillán River in Central Chile plays a fundamental role in local society, as a source of irrigation and drinking water, and as a sink for urban wastewater. In order to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of surface water quality in the watershed, a Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated from nine physicochemical parameters, periodically measured at 18 sampling sites (January...
