“…TDS is an indicator that allows knowing the quality of groundwater due to changes in the chemical composition [30,32]; thus, TDS values were reported as 327.25 and 32.50 mg/L in the dry season (p < 0.05) and 290.0 and 25.50 mg/L in the rainy season, as maximum and minimum values respectively (p < 0.05), observing significant differences between seasons (p = 0.018) (Table 4). The Chiara area reported lower TDS values for both seasons (Figure 5a,b), and it shows a decrease in the rainy season, being a characteristic behavior due to the increase in solvent (water) [33,34].…”

“…Regarding the conductivity of water, which measures the total content of ionizable salts, which allows flow of electric current through water [28,[31][32], water sources present values in the range from 63.00 to 655.50 µS/cm in the dry season (p < 0.05) and from 53.25 to 578.25 µS/cm in the rainy season (p < 0.05) (Table 4), observing significant differences between seasons (p = 0.018) (Figure 4c,d), and some points exceed the values recommended by the ECA-Peru [18].…”

The headwaters of the high Andean basin in Peru accumulate water from the mist, rain, snow, and hail, and it is transported superficially and underground to low-lying areas, mostly used for drinkable purposes. The natural water in these areas might be altered due to legal and illegal mining extraction. The aim of the study was to evaluate the water quality for human consumption. Seventeen water samples were examined from Andahuaylas (A), San Jerónimo (S), Talavera (T), and Chiara (CH) districts located between 2813 and 4004 m altitude in the Andes. We used physicochemical, microbiological, and metal parameters, and the results were compared to permissible levels established by the WHO and ECA-Peru to examine samples collected in the dry and rainy seasons in 2019. Application of principal component analysis (PCA) identified areas and conditioning parameters. Extractive mining activity influences the quality of springs due to the presence of metals, especially antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb), values of which are higher than values permissible for human consumption, being higher in the dry season (p < 0.05). In addition, the presence of cations and particulate matter affects physico-chemical parameters, for example turbidity. PCA showed that parameters for water characterization are season-independent, and water quality in the springs would be conditioned by the presence of metals, especially in Andahuaylas and Talavera zones, as well as the parameters that are associated with dissolved solids in the water (turbidity and fluorides). A frequent monitoring program of springs and groundwater is recommended, with the purpose to protect water from contamination and guarantee safe water availability in low-lying and urbanized areas.

“…Metal pollution in groundwater is governed by the several aspects including the level of weathering of the different rock, quality of the aquifer and effect of the peripheral pollution sources that ultimately, create complex groundwater chemistry (Aksever, Davraz, & Bal, 2016). It is important to consider the fact that trace level of concentration of heavy metal is needed for the functioning of metabolic actions of the human physique (WHO, 1996), however, exceeding the standard might impose severe health hazards.…”

The poorly managed effluents from industrial activities in Bangladesh contaminate groundwater aquifer with subsequent health risks as the most of the Bangladeshi people depend on groundwater for their drinking water sources. This study aimed to investigate the contamination level in the groundwater surrounding the Setabganj Sugar Mills Limited, Dinajpur, Bangladesh with special attention on the associated health risk of the dwellers residing around it. Stratified random sampling was adopted to collect 12 water samples from tubewell to identify concentration of heavy metals using atomic absorption spectroscopy. We found metal concentration in groundwater in the order of Mn>Fe>Co>Cu>Pb>Zn>Cr among which mean value of Mn concentration exceeded the drinking water standard while Fe and Pb concentrations in few samples exceeded the standards. Metal Index, Degree of Contamination, Pollution Load Index and Heavy Metal Pollution Index confirmed more groundwater contamination at the vicinity of sugar mill compared with the other samples that taken from far away of sugar mill. Health risk assessment ensures that Infants and children have a great susceptibility to the contaminated groundwater all over the study area while the adults are at high risk only in the sugar mill region. Principal Component Analysis and Factor Analysis reveal that sugar mill contributes largely to groundwater contamination along with other anthropogenic and natural sources. The findings of this study will help the environmental managers and policy makers to understand the potential health risks from the effluent of sugar mills and will knock them to treat it prior to discharge.

“…Alavi et al (2016) investigated water quality for agricultural uses of groundwater in Dez region (Iran) and the study focused on zoning water quality in geographic information system (GIS) environment. Aksever et al (2016) determined water quality of Başköy springs for irrigation purposes. In the study, they revealed suitable for irrigation purposes of Başköy springs (Burdur, Turkey) and water quality of Çaygözü spring is different the other springs due to the high electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids.…”

The goal of this work was to research the suitability of water sources for agricultural use in the Lake Hazar Basin For this purpose, samples are taken from 61 locations during the wet period and 60 locations during the dry period in 2015 and analyzed pH, electrical conductivity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride and sulfate parameters. Based on these analyses sodium percentage (Na%), sodium absorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), magnesium ratio (MR), permeability index (PI) and Kelly's ratio (KR) were calculated. Also, the usability of groundwater in agricultural activities is evaluated according to Wilcox and United States Salinity Laboratory (USSL) Diagrams. The EC, SAR, Na%, RSC, PI, KR and MR values revealed that suitability of waters as irrigation water, except for a few locations close to the lake. Similar results were obtained from classifications made according to USLL and Wilcox diagrams. The thematic maps of water quality parameters displayed that the groundwater quality decreases along the flow path from high elevations to lake level.
