Assessment of Groundwater Quality for Different Uses Case Study: El Minya Governorate, Egypt

Quality and hydrogeochemistry appraisal for groundwater in Tenth of Ramadan Area, Egypt

“…The high concentration of cadmium at site 1 was attributed by Taha et al (2004) to the occurrence of pesticides employed in agriculture. The concentrations of aluminum, cadmium, iron & lead are higher than the standard limit at site 3, that was attributed by Taha et al (2004) and Ibrahim (2011) to leaching of domestic & industrial (industrial sources; pigment industries, metal plating and stabilizers in plastic materials) wastewater from oxidation pond to the aquifer in that area in addition to crustal elements and corrosion product of well casing material (El Gammal & Ibrahim, 2017). Lead occurs in groundwater may be attributed to either the natural mobilization of lead or enriched from anthropogenic activities in the soil and, in some cases, mineral weathering (Buragohain, 2010).…”

“…Spatial water quality variations are controlled by rockwater interacts on distinct subsurface flow paths (El Gammal & Ibrahim, 2017 Belfiore, 2019). The authors found that the outcomes are the same in the tests utilized for comparison considering the data had normal distribution.…”

“…Monitoring of the physical and chemical parameters in groundwater is required for various destinations, i.e. to depict the chemical structure of groundwater and anthropogenic impacts on groundwater composition, to get an insight into the contribution of water-rock interactions, and to become attentive to spatio-temporal distribution of pollutants (El Gammal & Ibrahim, 2017;Ibrahim, Korany, Tempel, & Gomaa, 2019;Kumar, Ramanathan, Rao, & Kumar, 2006;Kumar and Singh, 2010;Quevauviller, Fouillac, Rath, & Ward, 2009).…”
