The present study focused on assessing the groundwater quality of the shallow aquifer in the northeastern Wasit Governorate, Iraq. The physicochemical parameters, including major cation and anion compositions, pH, total dissolved solid and electrical conductivity, were used to assess the suitability of groundwater quality for drinking purpose by comparing with the WHO and Iraqi standards. Total dissolved solid (TDS), sodium adsorption ratio, residual sodium bicarbonate, permeability index and magnesium ratio were used for irrigation suitability assessment. For this purpose, 98 samples were collected from the scattered shallow wells in the study area. Results indicated that the spatial distribution of TDS, EC values and major ions in these groundwater samples considerably differ from one site to another mainly due to the lithological variations of the area. The results are correlated with standards classifications to deduce the hydrogeochemical phenomena. The dominant factors in controlling the groundwater hydrogeochemistry are evaporation and weathering in the study area. Geochemical modelling approach was used to calculate the saturation state of some selected minerals, i.e., explaining the dissolution and precipitation reactions occurring in the groundwater. The studied groundwater samples were found to be oversaturated with carbonate minerals and undersaturated with evaporates minerals. A comparison of groundwater quality in relation to drinking water standards showed that most of the groundwater samples were unsuitable for drinking purposes. On the other hand, most groundwater is unsuitable for irrigation purposes based on sodium and salinity hazards. However, soil type as well as proper selection of plants should be taken into consideration.

“…The acidic nature of the water can be related also by the organic matter coming from human activities with strong For groundwater, conductivity is directly related to the concentration of ions present in it. Higher conductivity may be attributed to high salinity and high mineral percentage in groundwater samples, which are generally due to the ion exchange and solubilization process taking place within the aquifers [9,51]. The global EC values ranged from 63 to 3819 µS/cm with averages of 989.33 ± 761.66 µS/cm, 887 ± 963.70 µS/cm, 971.57 ± 766.44 µS/cm and 935.90 ± 1132.26 µS/cm for LRS, SDS, SRS, and LDS, respectively.…”

This study aims to assess the groundwater quality and the origin of water mineralization in an environment with high anthropogenic pressure in the municipality of Treichville. Twenty-one water samples were analysed to determine the quality. Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test, Mann-Whitney test, Kohonen algorithm, and water table building were used to determine the factors influencing the mineralization. The results showed that the well's water contains chemical and bacteriological elements whose concentrations are higher than the standards authorized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Thus, high levels of nitrate (peak = 173.1 mg L −1), phosphate (peak = 1.03 mg L −1), lead (peak = 2.987 mg L −1), and Escherichia coli (peak = 2.31 × 10 5 UFC 100 mL −1) were obtained in these waters. So, the groundwater is not suitable for human consumption. The most mineralized waters are found in the areas near the Ebrié Lagoon and extend in the direction including the low-income neighbourhoods of Biafra, Nanan Yamousso and Appolo. Pollutant transfer is continuous in the study area and comes from surface sewage, latrines, sewage disposal systems, well water collection materials, and the Ebrié Lagoon. Indeed, the pollutants leave Biafra neighbourhoods where water is heavily polluted and the pollution is amplified by the presence of septic tanks and latrines located on the line of groundwater flow. The main factors influencing water quality are the lagoon water intrusion, the advection mechanism linked to the infiltration of surface water and the lateral migration of pollutants from septic tanks and latrines, and mechanism of dissolution of the clay component of the clayey-sandy layers.

“…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. Bozdağ and Göçmez (2013) investigated suitability of groundwater quality for agricultural purposes in the Cihanbeyli basin (Turkey). The parameters anion and cation with pH, total dissolved solid, electrical conductivity, total hardness were used to assess the suitability of groundwater.…”

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.
