groundwater quality characteristics are affected by lithology and geological structure of aquifer formations. this research has studied the groundwater chemical quality of the upper aji-chai basin with regard to different geological formations. using pie and piper diagrams, the researchers analyzed hydro-chemical elements of 47 sample groundwater resources. after determining water type of sampl...

Groundwater (GW) is a significant freshwater resource for domestic, industrial and irrigation water supply in the India. During last decades, the demand of groundwater supply for drinking, domestic, irrigation, industrial and multipurpose uses has increased due to the rapidly rising population and constant desire for a better lifestyle in developing countries. Increasing demand for fresh water ...

Groundwater age, and its influence on contemporary water chemistry, needs to be accurately described to quantify the temporally varying impacts of land use on water quality. The time lags between solute inputs at the land surface and impacts on stream chemistry can be an important factor for managing land use in regional watersheds. Our approach uses a modified groundwater flow code to simulate...

abstract background and purpose:in many regions especially in the north of iran groundwater is the most important resource for drinking supply. a present study was carried out in the tajan plain in northern iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of groundwater. materials and methods:in order to constructing the groundwater quality index (gwqi) 3 main levels were composed select...

The population concentration in coastal areas and the increase of groundwater discharge in combination with the peculiarities of karstic coastal aquifers constitute a huge worldwide problem, which is particularly relevant for coastal aquifers of the Mediterranean basin. This paper offers a review of scientific activities realized to pursue the optimal utilization of Apulian coastal groundwater....

Pakistan’s Irrigation system is more than a century old, the distribution system within any canal command is designed to distribute the canal water equitably ignoring rainfall patterns and underlying groundwater resources. Now, the groundwater contribution in meeting crop water requirement has even crossed the canal water supply in the existing scenario of increased cropping intensities. The un...

An assessment is made on the current groundwater use and further development potential in the hard to reach (HtR) areas of Bangladesh following a combination of secondary literature review and synthesis of primary information gathered from the fields. Also, primary analyses of groundwater quality, levels, recharge and use were done using secondary data. The findings reveal that the hydrogeology...

Groundwater is an essential and vital component of our life support system. The groundwater resources are being utilized for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes. There is growing concern on deterioration of groundwater quality due to geogenic and anthropogenic activities. Groundwater, being a fragile must be carefully managed to maintain its purity within standard limits. So, quality a...

Groundwater is one of the most important natural resources in the northern coastal belt of Sri Lanka, as there are no major water supply schemes or perennial rivers. Overexploitation, seawater intrusion and persistent pollution of this vital resource are threatening human health as well as ecosystems in the Jaffna Peninsula. Therefore, the main intent of the present paper is to apply geospatial...

Kosovo has limited natural water resources which should be well managed. This is recently realised through quantitative and qualitative monitoring of both surface and groundwater and by characterizing their quality according to their destination. In this paper, the Water Quality Index (WQI) developed by the Canadian Council of Environment Ministers (CCME WQI) was applied to evaluate the groundw...
