“…Many types of research have indicated that except for geological origin, vast pollution in groundwater resources is because of the inappropriate disposal of solid waste, sewage and overuse of agrochemical products (Aleem et al, 2018). Karakuş and Yildiz (2019) and Kiy and Arslan (2021) investigated groundwater quality for irrigation and drinking purposes in Turkey using water quality indices. Alamdar et al (2019) and Badeenezhad et al (2020) stated that the groundwater hydrochemistry in the Shiraz plain (south of Iran) is in the main the result of human activity, but is influenced to some degree by natural processes.…”

Iran is in a serious freshwater shortage crisis because its major part is located in arid and semi‐arid areas. This research evaluated the groundwater quality in terms of potable and irrigation uses in the wet and dry seasons in the Kazeroon plain, southern Iran. In this study, a total of 408 groundwater samples were gathered from 68 boreholes to measure water quality indices, such as acidity (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), bicarbonate (HCO3−), chloride (Cl−), sulphate (SO42−), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+). Geographical information system technology was also applied to draw maps of spatial changes of water quality parameters. The results showed that groundwater quality indices had the minimum and maximum values of pH (6.9–8.6), EC (414–9,813 μmho cm−1) and TDS (278–6,180), TH (175–3250), HCO3− (152–518), Cl− (5–1950), SO42− (17–2371), Ca2+ (30–681), Mg2+ (12–607), Na+ (1–1303) and K+ (0.8–18) (mg L−1). Based on World Health Organization standards, the results indicated that all of the aquifer water in the plain except for the northern region was of poor and very poor quality for potable usages. Also, the United States Salinity Laboratory diagram showed that the groundwater quality is doubtful for irrigation. Therefore, the cultivation pattern in this plain should be switched towards salt‐tolerant crops.

“…In the present study, the KR values ranged between 0,23 and 2 ( Figure 4 e). According to Karakus and Yidiz (2020) , the KR values lower than 1 indicates that water is suitable for irrigation and values higher than 1 indicate that water is unsuitable for irrigation purposes. Figure 4 e shows that all groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation purposes except for sites 7 and 17.…”

“…The applicability of the procedure is possible due to the natural water having anions and cations in chemical equilibrium. According to studies reported in the literature, the dominant cations in water proved to be Na + , Mg 2+ , and Ca 2+ , while SO 4 2− , Cl − , and HCO 3 − were the most abundant anions [33][34][35][36]. The concentration of chemical components in natural groundwater depends on many processes and conditions, including the availability and solubility of minerals, the geochemical environment (pH and EC), and exchange processes, which may be different for the type of aquifer water.…”

The aim of the study was to assess the groundwater quality in a rural area affected by the abandoned pyrite ash waste dumps. The abundance of major ions in groundwater depends largely on the nature of the rocks, climatic conditions, and mobility. To evaluate geochemical processes, 30 groundwater samples collected from Valea Calugareasca, Prahova County, Romania, were analyzed for the major anions (NO3−, SO42−, Cl−, HCO3−, and F−) and cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+), which are naturally highly variable due to climatic and geographical location conditions. Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, and K+ varied between 118 and 275 mg/L, 32 and 160 mg/L, 12.2 and 78.4 mg/L, and 0.21 and 4.48 mg/L, respectively. NO3− levels exceeding the World Health Organization (WHO) limit of 50 mg/L were identified in 17% of the groundwater samples, mainly as result of fertilizers applied to agricultural activities. The hydrogeochemical study identified dolomite dissolution and halite precipitation as natural sources of ions as well as the presence of pyrite as a source of SO42− ions in 60% of the samples. The sulfate content varied between 125 and 262 mg/L. Bicarbonate and chloride concentrations varied between 202 and 530 mg/L and 21 and 212 mg/L. The saturation index indicates the contribution of Ca2+ ions in the groundwater samples came from some processes of dissolving rocks such as aragonites (values between 1.27 and 2.69) and calcites (values between 1.43 and 2.82). Negative halite values indicated that salt accumulation results from precipitation processes. Only 10% of the analyzed groundwater samples were suitable for human consumption, the samples being situated on the hill, far away from the pyrite ash waste dumps and agricultural land.
