Groundwater is a primary drinking, agricultural, domestic, and nondomestic water source in Ethiopia’s Yisr River watershed of the Blue Nile River basin. There has been no systematic investigation of the hydrogeochemical properties of groundwater in the research area. The study investigated the hydrogeochemical parameters of groundwater in the catchment to find out if it is fit for drinking and irrigation. A total of 26 samples of groundwater were collected and analyzed for seventeen parameters, including pH, temperature, EC, TDS, TH, K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Cl−, HCO 3 − , CO 3 2 − , SO 4 2 − , F−, PO 4 2 − , and NO 3 − . The data were processed and evaluated using integrated hydrogeochemical techniques, including individual ionic signatures, interionic ratios, and multivariate statistical methods, such as multiple correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis. The water quality index (WQI) and Na%, PI, RSC, SAR, EC, TDS, and MH were used to judge the quality of water for drinking and irrigation, respectively. The box plot diagram shows the dominant ions in descending order of Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Na+ > K+ and HCO 3 2 − > Cl- > SO 4 2 − > NO 3 − > F− for cations and anions, respectively. The chemical composition of shallow wells and springs indicates freshwater. At the same time, the deep groundwater wells are brackish. The two-factor loadings (principal component analysis) were used to explain the existence of anthropogenic and geogenic sources. Three clusters are identified in the dendrogram. The third cluster has the most significant linkage distance among all the clusters. This means that the groundwater sample in this cluster is geochemically different from the other two clusters, and that this cluster is made up of only deep wells. Water quality indices showed that water quality ranged from excellent to very poor, with the majority (53.85%) being excellent and 26.9% being good. The results of the calculated indices for agricultural water quality indicated that the water quality in most collected samples was in the good and excellent categories; however, the EC, RSC, MH, and TDS indices in deep groundwater wells were found to be hazardous. The findings of this study are useful for understanding groundwater sustainability for various reasons. However, they are also helpful in supporting water management and protection in the future.

“…The composition of the groundwater, in which the major anion is HCO 3 and the major cations are Na + and Ca 2+ , is explained by the composition of the local soils and rocks with calcium carbonate content (González, 2016), which has been reported in other carbonate rock areas (AlSuhaimi et al 2016;Guo et al 2017;Zhang et al 2018;Zheng et al 2017). In coastal areas with these characteristics, there have been reports that describe cation exchange phenomena (Sako et al 2016;Taheri et al 2017;Zheng et al 2017), where the substrate has high concentrations of Na + and, being in a medium saturated with Ca 2+ , Na + is released into the solution and Ca 2+ is trapped by the ground. Therefore, the high content of HCO 3 is associated with a high Na + content (Custodio and Llamas 1976;Niu et al 2017;Ormachea Muñoz et al 2016).…”

“…The quality of groundwater is significantly influenced by the local and regional geological context (Ochoa- González et al 2015;Taheri et al 2017), by anthropogenic activities (Abiye et al 2018;Niu et al 2017;Vadiati et al 2016;Zheng et al 2017), due to the infiltration of domestic and industrial waste, and by atmospheric conditions and precipitation (AlSuhaimi et al 2016;Appelo and Postma 2004). Therefore, water quality is subject to constant daily, seasonal and climatic changes, which makes it necessary to regularly monitor the physicochemical and microbiological parameters of groundwater (Vadiati et al 2016;Zheng et al 2017).…”

In Panama City, the water supply sources for the population come mainly from surface waters, but in times of drought and extreme natural phenomena, the need to resort to underground sources is explored. This paper concerns an exploratory investigation with the aim of assessing the quality of groundwater in the southeastern part of the Province of Panama and to determine its possible use as drinking water during extreme natural phenomena. Monthly monitoring over a period of 15 months was carried out. The study included the sampling and analysis of groundwater by different physic-chemical, hydrochemical and biological parameters. The results showed that most of the parameters in the analysed groundwater conformed to the Panamanian drinking water norm and the water potability diagram, this is a convenient source of raw water for purification. As for other uses for this water source, it should be used with caution since it represents a medium risk of soil salinization for irrigation water; and it is a moderately hard water for industrial uses.

“…Algunos estudios, como el de Zheng et al (2017) reportan que al evaluar la calidad del agua del Río Basin, en China, el 15.56% de 45 muestras, es apta para fuentes centralizadas de agua potable, actividades recreativas y uso doméstico, el 46.67% es útil para el consumo humano, la agricultura y la industria, mientras que el 37.78% puede ser utilizada para , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Fy PO 4 -, atribuidas principalmente a las actividades antropogénicas, rocas en la litosfera y residuos de fertilizantes. La Tabla II muestra estudios realizados en diversas zonas geográficas que reportan cifras elevadas de aniones y cationes en muestras de agua y suelo.…”

Los contaminantes del agua y el suelo son un tema polémico por los problemas que ocasionan a la agricultura moderna. El crecimiento de la población ha provocado la expansión de las áreas de cultivo, sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales, así como problemas de disponibilidad y degradación de los recursos. Esta situación se agrava debido al manejo inapropiado de los residuos industriales, de los pesticidas y los fertilizantes que contaminan con elementos orgánicos e inorgánicos persistiendo en el ambiente y dispersándose por medio de los procesos de bioacumulación en especies animales y vegetales, lo que contribuye al desequilibrio de los ecosistemas. Este artículo de revisión presenta un panorama general de los principales factores de contaminación que afectan los recursos naturales y en específico, la situación que enfrenta la agricultura en México y otros países por causa del transporte de compuestos químicos a los cultivos.
