“…A majority of individual actions can lead to high nitrogen levels in water resources, such as crop fertilizers and wastewater generation [134]. As a result, there has been a long history of recorded nitrate pollution in water systems, mainly through agricultural production usage; hence agriculture is considered the primary nitrate source in the environment [135] (Figure 5).…”

Recognition of sustainability issues around water resource consumption is gaining traction under global warming and land utilization complexities. These concerns increase the challenge of gaining an appropriate comprehension of the anthropogenic activities and natural processes, as well as how they influence the quality of surface water and groundwater systems. The characteristics of water resources cause difficulties in the comprehensive assessment regarding the source types, pathways, and pollutants behaviors. As the behavior and prediction of widely known contaminants in the water resources remain challenging, some new issues have developed regarding heavy metal pollutants. The main aim of this review is to focus on certain essential pollutants’ discharge from anthropogenic activities categorized based on land-use sectors such as industrial applications (solid/liquid wastes, chemical compounds, mining activities, spills, and leaks), urban development (municipal wastes, land use practices, and others), and agricultural practices (pesticides and fertilizers). Further, important pollutants released from natural processes classified based on climate change, natural disasters, geological factors, soil/matrix, and hyporheic exchange in the aquatic environment, are also discussed. Moreover, this study addresses the major inorganic substances (nitrogen, fluoride, and heavy metals concentrations). This study also emphasizes the necessity of transdisciplinary research and cross-border communication to achieve sustainable water quality using sound science, adaptable legislation, and management systems.

Contamination of drinking water by metals remains a global threat to living organisms. Therefore, the current study describes variations of metal occurrence, water quality and human health risk assessment between the dry and wet seasons of a rural village located in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The concentrations of major and trace metals were determined in drinking water samples using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The physicochemical parameters, water quality index (WQI), total water hardness (TWH) and health risk assessment (hazard quotient: HQ and chronic daily intake: CDI) were evaluated seasonally. The TWH results showed that the water was very hard with water hardness values ranging between 415 and 442. The water also contained several metals and metalloids such as Al (2.18–3.36 mg L−1), As (0.17–0. 53 mg L−1), Cd (0.0068–0.0134 mg L−1), Cr (0.2481–0.2601 mg L−1), Mn (0.387–1.582 mg L−1), Pb (0.064–0.0802 mg L−1), Sb (0.0496–0.1391 mg L−1) and Se (0.075–0.148 mg L−1) that exceeded the SANS and WHO permissible limits in drinking water. The health risk assessment revealed that the water may cause noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic health effects due to the presence of As, Cr, Sb, Tl and V in water samples, while the water quality index revealed that the water was of very poor quality.

“…Nitrate concentration in groundwater samples, collected from Yerraguntla Mandal, South India, ranged from 2.50 to 760.12 mg/L, with a mean value of 86.13 mg/L. Most of the samples also exceeded the permissible limits of nitrate, designated in this country [42]. In the study of Sadler et al [43] concentrations of nitrate in drinking water samples, collected from 52 drinking water wells in rural Central Java, Indonesia, had a range of 0.01-84 mg/L, a mean of 20 mg/L and a medium of 14 mg/L.…”

“…The Li et al [47] nitrate exposure assessment in groundwater in China showed that nearly 50% of the samples tested had HQ>1, and the highest HQ values were several times higher (11.24 -adults, 19.86 -children) than the results obtained for well water samples taken in Poland. In the aforementioned study of Suvarna et al [42] from South India, HQ values for infants, children, male and female ranges from 0.05 to 14.25, 0.06 to 18.53, 0.04 to 12.18 and 0.05 to 14.62, respectively. In our study, this range was from 0.0 in all groups to 1.0 for infants, 6.9 for children, 4.9 for teenagers and 3.9 for adults.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess and compare selected parameters of drinking water quality monitored by state authorities and compare with water from individual ground wells not subject to official control, as well as to assess the exposure of the studied area inhabitants to nitrates, taking into account the method of treatment for the water supply. The study collected well water samples from 52 randomly selected households in Rybnik county located in south-western Poland. Nitrate concentration was determined in the tested water samples using the DR 3900 spectrophotometer. The lowest determined concentration of nitrate was; the average value was -41.2 mg/L. This publication estimates the potential risk to human health due to consumption of drinking water from public water systems and private shallow wells in Rybnik County, Poland. In the case of well water samples HQ value was greater than 1 in 50% of samples in case of children exposure, in 40% in case of teenagers exposure and 33% in case of adults.
