“…As shown in Table 4, three samples are within the grade of no problem, the other twenty two samples are classified into the grade of an increasing problem. Meanwhile, based on grading standards suggested by Wilcox (Ghazaryan et al 2020), 88% of the water samples have high EC value (750-2,250 μS/cm), which is permissible for irrigation. Only 12% of the samples with the value less than 750 μS/cm are found good for irrigation.…”

“…For getting an insight into the water-rock interactions and hydrochemical characteristics, conventional hydrochemical methods and multivariate statistical methods have been conducted on various water bodies (Xiao et al 2015;Pazand et al 2018;Kshetrimayum & Laishram 2020). The suitability of irrigation has been reported and numerous studies have been implied to evaluate the irrigation (Sharma et al 2017;Adimalla 2020;Ghazaryan et al 2020). In China, the rural revitalization strategy and the construction of well-facilitated farmland have been proposed to protect life health, optimize land use structure and layout, and strengthen the construction of ecological environment, etc.…”

Lan-gan region, one of traditional agricultural production base in northern Anhui Province, East China, has rare hydrochemical reports on the formation mechanism and irrigation assessment of the Quaternary deeper confined groundwater aquifer. To better master hydrochemical characteristics, solute source, and irrigation properties, twenty-five water samples were collected from the individual digging well. Gibbs diagram, Piper diagram, ionic ratio, and multivariate statistical analysis were carried out to delineate the hydrochemical facies and water-rock interactions. Meanwhile, the USSL and Wilcox diagram, and the irrigation water quality indices were conducted to illustrate the suitability for irrigation. The results indicate that the order is Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ >K+ and HCO3− > SO42− > Cl− for cations and anions, respectively. Ca-HCO3 is the main hydrochemical type. Water-rock interactions include silicate weathering, carbonate dissolution, halite dissolution and sulfate dissolution. Based on EC value, the majority of the samples are permissible for irrigation, whereas only 12% of the samples were found good for irrigation. The RSC, SAR, and %Na, combined with Wilcox diagram and USSL diagram, demonstrate that the groundwater samples are permissible for irrigation purpose.

“…Water scarcity is a global issue of concern that affects all socioeconomic activities and threatens the sustainability of the natural resources. The development of agricultural lands, to provide food for the growing population, highly depends on the availability of irrigation water (Ghazaryan et al 2020). Indeed, agriculture has become the main sector of water consumption (Kawo and Karuppannan 2018).…”

“…Numerous studies on water quality assessment have been developed with different techniques to evaluate water quality, essentially based on chemical relations, physical proprieties, and Water Quality Index (WQI) (e.g., Abd El-Aziz, 2017; Al Maliki et al 2020;Ben Alaya et al 2013;Ghazaryan et al 2020;Pazand and Javanshir 2014;Prasad et al 2019;Tian and Wu 2019). Different hydrochemical indices, such as Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Sodium percentage (Na%), Magnesium Hazard (MH), Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) and Permeability Index (PI) are applied to the assessment of groundwater quality for agricultural irrigation (Ghazarhyan et al 2020;Beyene et al 2019;Mirza et al 2017;Safiur et al 2017;Khan et al 2015).…”

Groundwater is an important source for irrigation uses in many arid and semi-arid regions such as Menzel Habib area. In this work, the groundwater quality for irrigation water was investigated based on conventional indices notably Electrical Conductivity (EC), Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), Soluble Sodium Percentage (SSP), Magnesium Adsorption ratio (MAR), Kelly Ratio (KR) and Permeability index (PI). The water quality for irrigation was also evaluated by Simsek method. However, a proposal fuzzy logic model has been developed to avoid uncertainties associated to the classical methods. The results obtained on thirty-six groundwater samples, indicated that 3% of these samples are classified as “good” for irrigation, 3% are “good to permissible”, 33% “permissible”, 36% “permissible to unsuitable” and 25% with an “unsuitable” quality. The application of fuzzy logic approaches has more reliable results with the definition of seven classes to evaluate the groundwater quality for agricultural irrigation.

“…The chemical composition of stream waters is a key indicator of water quality, controlled by the background geochemistry of the water, climatic conditions and anthropogenic influence ( Batheria and Jain, 2016 ). Studies have observed a degrading transformation of the hydrochemical integrity water as a result of anthropogenic pressure from activities such as horticultural production in the vicinity of streams ( Wu et al., 2021 ; Arenas-Sánchez et al., 2021 ; Ghazaryan et al., 2020 ; Gesels et al., 2021 ; Alshehri et al., 2021 ; Zakaria et al., 2021 ).…”

This study aimed to determine the levels of contamination in Maumau stream as a result of horticultural activities in its vicinity. The stream was purposefully delineated into three blocks including upstream, midstream and downstream, where water samples were collected and analyzed for physicochemical attributes. Standard analytical procedures for water analysis were followed in laboratory analysis and the collected data was analyzed using Genstat software. Analyzed parameters include total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, total suspended solids (TSS), sulphates (SO 3 −3 ), phosphates (PO 3 −3 ), nitrates (NO 3 - ), fluoride (Fl − ), turbidity, chloride (Cl − ), magnesium (Mg +2 ), sodium (Na + ), potassium (K + ) and zinc (Zn +2 ). The results were presented in tables and a graph against WHO standards. All measured parameters showed significant differences (p=<0.001) among their means across the sampling sites and control. The pH did not show a clear trend from upstream through midstream to downstream. The concentrations of chloride decreased down the stream with control, midstream and downstream showing no statistical significance. Means of fluoride, magnesium, phosphates, sulphates, total soluble solids and zinc increased down the course of the stream. Increasing concentrations of the physicochemical parameters down the stream was attributed majorly to release and addition of agrochemicals to the stream from the nearby farms. A lucid knowledge of the nexus between land use and water quality was recommended as a prime management implication. In conclusion, the water quality of Maumau stream is being degraded by horticultural activities along the stream. Key policy actions including river pegging should be adopted to protect the water quality.
