“…The IWQI is a dimensionless parameter ranging from 0 to 100. Following [72], irrigation water quality was classified into four classes based on IWQI value: null (85-100), low (70)(71)(72)(73)(74)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81)(82)(83)(84)(85), moderate (55-70), high (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55), and severe restriction (0-40).…”

Water scarcity and suitable irrigation water management in arid regions represent tangible challenges for sustainable agriculture. The current study aimed to apply multivariate analysis and to develop a simplified water quality assessment using principal component analysis (PCA) and the agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) technique to assess the water quality of the Bahr Mouise canal in El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. The proposed methods depended on the monitored water chemical composition (e.g., pH, water electrical conductivity (ECiw), Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3−, Cl−, and SO42−) during 2019. Based on the supervised classification of satellite images (Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI)), the distinguished land use/land cover types around the Bahr Mouise canal were agriculture, urban, and water bodies, while the dominating land use was agriculture. The water quality of the Bahr Mouise canal was classified into two classes based on the application of the irrigation water quality index (IWQI), while the water quality was classified into three classes using the PCA and AHC methods. Temporal variations in water quality were investigated, where the water qualities in winter, autumn, and spring (January, February, March, April, November, and December) were classified as class I (no restrictions) based on IWQI application, and the water salinity, sodicity, and/or alkalinity did not represent limiting factors for irrigation water quality. On the other hand, in the summer season (May, June, July, August, and October), the irrigation water was classified as class II (low restrictions); therefore, irrigation processes during summer may lead to an increase in the alkalinity hazard. The PCA classifications were compared with the IWQI results; the PCA classifications had similar assessment results during the year, except in September, while the water quality was assigned to class II using the PCA method and class I by applying the IWQI. Furthermore, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) around the Bahr Mouise canal over eight months and climatic data assisted in explaining the fluctuations in water quality during 2019 as a result of changing the crop season and agriculture management. Assessments of water quality help to conserve soil, reduce degradation risk, and support decision makers in order to obtain sustainable agriculture, especially under water irrigation scarcity and the limited agricultural land in such an arid region.

“…The calculated SSP values varied from 19.96% to 37.32% with a mean value of 31.40%, indicating a low restriction degree on using the water for irrigation. Kumar et al [82] note that water with an SSP < 50% is good quality and suitable for irrigation purposes.…”

“…Several scientific studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] are being carried out worldwide on MSW leachate pollution impact on water bodies. Spatial variation of groundwater quality depends on the geological formation through which it flows and on anthropogenic activities in the groundwater [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

The present study aimed to assess the impact of municipal solid waste dumpsite on groundwater bodies at Hyderabad, India. Leachate and groundwater samples collected through pre-and post-monsoon analyzed the physicochemical, microbiological, biological and heavy metals. The analytical data were compared with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) drinking water quality standards. Water quality index (WQI), heavy metal pollution indices like heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) and degree of contamination (Cd) are calculated for groundwater samples. High total dissolve solids values in leachates revealed that they were highly contaminated with organic and inorganic salts. Biological oxygen demand values indicated that dumpsite was "old and stabilized" with decreasing biodegradability from time to time. According to WQI, about 75% of the water samples identified as "Poor" category that is not suitable for neither drinking nor domestic purposes as per BIS standards. Similarly, HEI and Cd results indicated that majority of the samples are labeled with low-metal pollution status. Spatial patterns obtained through geographic information systems using inverse distance weighted interpolation technique revealed that the concentrations of various parameters are high due to increased degradation of solid wastes during rainfall, especially during the post-monsoon. The study suggested that leachates have treated prior to disposal on land, and continuous monitoring of groundwater wells is required to minimize the pollution and potential health hazards.

Opuntia and Neem leaf is a natural based bio-coagulation that can be utilized in bio-coagulation process of kitchen used water collected from the college (MKCE). Opuntia (prickly pear) and neem tree leaf (Azadirachta indicia) powder are used as a Bio-coagulant. Jar test was conducted and the treated samples were evaluated for pH, turbidity, hardness. The dosage of the Bio-coagulant utilized in jar apparatus is 0.2 to 1 g/L for both neem leaf and opuntia powder. The dosage for the Bio-coagulant solution utilized is 5 to 25mL/L. When the Bio-coagulant are utilized directly turbidity was reduced to 50%. When Bio-coagulant are partially utilized with alum the efficiency is about 95% for neemleaf powder and 96% for opuntia powder. So the process reduces the consumption of chemical to 50%. Opuntia and neem could be utilized as an effective natural Bio-coagulant since it costs less when compared with chemical coagulant.
