Background & Aims of the Study: Due to the increasing pollution of water resources, tow documented methods: the Heavy metal potential index (HPI) and the Heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) were evaluated for their suitability for contamination monitoring of heavy metals (As, Zn, Pb, Cd and Cu) contamination in groundwater resources of Asadabad Plain during spring and summer in 2012. Material...

The present work provides hydrochemical and stable isotope data and their interpretations for 54 springs and 20 wells, monitored from 2002 to 2006, in the Southern Latium region of Central Italy to identify flow paths, recharge areas and hydrochemical processes governing the evolution of groundwater in this region. The hydrogeological conceptual model of the carbonate aquifers of southern Latiu...

Background & objectives: In general, contamination of drinking water sources by heavy metals can poses a serious threat to the living organism, especially human. Therefore, this research examines the concentration of some heavy metals in groundwater resources and their impact on consumer health. Methods: In this study, samples were collected from 17 wells in Birjand flood plain, in autumn of 2...

Groundwater quality management is one of the most important issues in many arid and semi-arid regions, including Iran.Nitrate (NO3-) is one of the most common anions contaminating groundwater. This study aimed to range nitrateconcentrations in water resources in Bahabad plain in Yazd province. To evaluate the nitrate data in this descriptive study,260 nitrate samples from 13 wells in Bahabad we...

groundwater quality regarding major anions and cations in the birjand plain located in the largest desert in eastern iran was monitored in this study. fifteen boreholes were considered as sampling stations and the parameters ph, tds, ec and major anions and cations were measured in groundwater samples. the dominant groundwater types can be introduced as sodium-chloride and magnesium-sulphate. t...
