“…Contemporary challenges, encompassing water pollution, deterioration of aquatic ecosystems, and increasing water environment risks, have emerged [7,8]. It has been suggested that the security and well-being of the water environment are pivotal for sustainable regional development [9]. Consequently, timely and precise monitoring and evaluation of the water environment in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China have been deemed imperative [10].…”

With rapid economic and urban progression, water resource and environmental challenges have become increasingly evident. This research focuses on water environment monitoring in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, employing advanced remote sensing and image processing methodologies. A technique was developed to extract the spatial location features of water bodies using remote sensing image segmentation. In addition, a novel spectral feature extraction technique predicated on a double inverse Gaussian model was introduced. This innovative method adeptly captures the contours of absorption peaks, facilitating the expression and extraction of spectral characteristics inherent to the water bodies. These methodologies were primarily designed to offer both theoretical and technical insights into the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics of the water environment. The outcomes of this study are comprehensively examined, with potential enhancements and prospective trends in water environment monitoring elucidated.

The study area was part of West Azerbaijan, west of Urmia Lake, located northwest of Iran. Sampling points were selected and were taken from 121 groundwater resources. Heavy metals (Pb, As, Mn, and Hg) and ions (Na + , NO 3 ¯, F¯, and Cl¯) were measured, respectively. The probabilistic method and Monte-Carlo simulation are used to estimate carcinogenic and Noncarcinogenic risks. The Concentration of study elements was obtained in the range of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended. The order of Heavy metals (HMs) concentrations is based on the overall mean: Mn > As > Hg > Pb. The hazard index (HI) level was found to be more than 1 for noncarcinogenic risk for As and NO 3 ¯, also permissible risks for the other elements. ELCR levels of As were acceptable, except for some sampling points, the central region in the study area, near the seashore of Urmia Lake. Finally, it can be stated that the groundwater resources in the studied area are acceptable for drinking in most places. Still, due to the effects of As and NO 3 ¯ contaminated water, the quality is unacceptable for drinking in some places. So, in the study area, monitoring water quality is recommended by nding contamination sources to decrease the health risks of drinking consumption.
