Fuzzy Water Quality Index (FWQI) was applied in order to assess the degree of drinking water resources in Yazd province, Iran. Thisstudy has also offered the creation of a new fuzzy water quality index (FWQI) to evaluate this tool’s applicability. 12 chemicalparameters including toxic and non-toxic heavy metals measured in 71 groundwater samples collected from drinking water resourcesin rural a...

Clean drinking water for the municipality of “Rey” with population of over one million remains a critical and serious problem. In particular, Rey’s continued water demands has caused a substantially high drop in its local groundwater level. With running this study, we can appropriately predict the quality of groundwater in Rey. In this study, we have considered presence of nit...

Background: A new method has been presented specifically for zoning the quality of groundwater for drinking purposes; this method is the groundwater quality index (GQI) method. The present research used the GQI method to qualitatively zoning of the Lenjan groundwater for drinking purposes. Methods: Three phases were applied in this research. In the first phase, working on the quality data of 3...

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...

groundwater quality in nour coastal plain in mazandaran province of iran is assessed by measuring physicochemical parameters including total dissolved solid, electrical conductivity, ph, total hardness, major cation and anion compositions and nitrate pollution. for this purpose, fifty groundwater samples were collected in july 2012. the hydrochemical types, ca–hco3 and mg–hco3 dominate in all s...

introduction suitability of groundwater for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes depends upon its quality. changes in groundwater quality are due to variation in climatic conditions, residence time of water with aquifer materials and inputs from soil during percolation of water. multivariate statistical methods are one of the common and important methods for hydro geochemistry study. sa...

This present hydrological study assessed the groundwater quality of Biratnagar Metropolitan by application Water Quality Index (WQI). It has been determined on basis analyzed samples for some important physicochemical parameters such as pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), free carbon-dioxide (FCO2), bicarbonate (HCO3), total hardness (TH), phosphate (PO4-P), nitr...
