“…At the final step, the total potential non-carcinogenic risks were appraised by estimating the hazard index (HI) by using Eq. (7) ( Rupakheti et al, 2017 ; Jehan et al, 2020 ; Karthikeyan et al, 2021 );

“…Heavy metals are the most ubiquitous environmental pollutants affecting the quality of water resources even in the most remote places on Earth, for example, Tibet, Sundarbans, Amazonia, the Pacific region, the Polar region, and others [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Inland waters such as rivers, lakes, streams, and even groundwater are also subject to heavy metal pollution [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

Nowadays, the problem of inland water pollution is acute. It is caused by vast industrial growth and agricultural intensification. Concentrations of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, and Kwere determined in the muscles, liver, and gonads sabrefish from Rybinsk Reservoir areas with different anthropogenic loads. The tissue samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. Heavy metals accumulated more intensively in the body of fish from more polluted areas of the reservoir. Among the analyzed elements, the maximum accumulation levels were found for K, Zn, and Fe and the minimum levels were observed for Cd and Pb. The gonads contained the largest concentration of Cd and Mn, the muscles contained the highest concentrations of Mg, and the other elements mainly accumulated in the liver of sabrefish. The THQ and HI values for all elements did not exceed 1, which suggests that there is no potential non-carcinogenic risk to human health. The target values of carcinogenic risk (TR) for cadmium ranged from 8.32 × 10−6 to 1.22 × 10−4 in the muscles. The increased content of cadmium in the gonads of sabrefish not only poses a risk to human health, but also to the reproduction of this species in the Rybinsk Reservoir.

“…The mapping of the land use and land cover of a region can be done with the help of remote sensing and GIS techniques. The integration of remote sensing data with GIS provides numerous new views and opportunities for the analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of data in conjunction with supplementary digital information, such as digitised maps (11) . Numerous studies have evaluated the hydrogeochemistry of parts of the Chennai region, to identify the groundwater suitability for drinking, domestic, irrigation, and industrial purposes.…”

Objectives:The current study shows the magnitude of changes in land use and land cover (LULC) in the Ambattur Zone from 1990 to 2021 and examines its impact on groundwater quality through the Gibbs diagram, Piper diagram, multivariate statistical analysis, and water quality index (WQI) for drinking. Methods: Landsat images were collected to derive the LULC images through the supervised classification approach. Groundwater samples were collected from 31 wells for two seasons and analyzed for the hydrogeochemical study. Gibbs, Piper, multivariate statistical analysis and WQI were done to evaluate the groundwater quality for drinking purpose and to study the hydrogeochemical characteristics. Findings: The results show that barren land decreased from 7.4 to 4.31 km 2 , whereas, built-up land expanded from 21.37 to 24 km 2 . Compared to barren and built-up regions, water and vegetation land haven't changed much. LULC change analysis required assessing Ambattur groundwater quality. Physico-chemical investigations and ionic concentrations show that Ambattur industrial zone groundwater is contaminated and unsafe for human consumption. WQI shows that 60% of groundwater is unfit in both seasons. Evaporation and rock-water interaction alter the area's groundwater chemistry. Hydrogeochemical facies diagrams show alternating alkaline and alkali dominance, as well as strong and weak acids. According to correlation matrices, all analytical parameters except pH have a positive correlation. Four basic components and a cluster contribute to understanding industrial pollution. Novelty: (i) The present study integrates LULC changes and hydrogeochemistry for the evaluation of groundwater quality. (ii) The comprehensive approach of analyzing LULC changes in conjunction with evaluating the groundwater geochemistry gives new insights in groundwater management for the long-term development of any region. https://www.indjst.org/
