“…The suitability of groundwater resources for drinking‐use has been assessed by: (a) a comparison of the physiochemical characteristics of water samples as well as state variables with permissible values recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO, 1993), and (b) the drinking water quality index (WQI) introduced by Tarawneh et al. (2019). WQI, as a general tool, gives a good insight into water suitability in terms of water quality assessment (Noori, Berndtsson, et al., 2019).…”

 Since Iran's groundwater hydrochemistry has not been well understood, we explored it using a rich, nationwide data sampled from 9,468 wells. Findings indicate the dominance of mix water type in 13 out of 30 of Iran's sub-basins, followed by NaCl water type in nine sub-basins. A distinctive relationship exists between Iran's geological-geomorphological features and hydrochemical facies/groundwater quality. This study's results can be used in the formulation of new strategies and policies for Iran's groundwater quality management in the future.

“…The determination of WQI is a ranking approach that represents the combined effect of discrete physicochemical variables of natural waters on the entire standard of freshwater (Mitra 1998). The WQI of the groundwater samples were computed following the procedure from the published literature (e.g., Saba and Umar 2016; Tarawneh et al 2019).…”

Lack of data on the hydrogeochemistry of coastal aquifers around the south Caspian Sea warranted the present hydrochemical and quality assessment studies. The study involving classical integrated methods, multivariate statistical analyses, and GIS applications was carried out on the groundwater encountered in coastal Sari-Neka plain, Mazandaran Province, Northern Iran. The present survey indicates that the groundwater encountered at majority (~ 68%) of the sampling locations is of Na + -SO4 2− category and constitutes deep meteoric percolation type and the same at the remaining ~ 32% of the sampling locations relates to Na + -HCO 3 − category and belongs to shallow meteoric percolation class. The groundwater situated at ~ 64% and ~ 36% of the sampling locations belongs, respectively, to freshwater and brackish water categories. The groundwater is specified by Na + > Ca 2+ > Mg 2+ > K + and HCO 3 − > Cl − > SO 4 2− > NO 3 − . It pertains to Ca 2+ -Mg 2+ -HCO 3 − , mixed, and Na + -Cl − hydrochemical facies. Reverse cation-anion-exchange process was found dominant at majority (~ 76%) of the sampling sites. Dissolved solids were originated chiefly from connate brine water confined to the aquifer sedimentary beds, dissolution of aquifer materials, ion-exchange, and different anthropogenic sources. Groundwater encountered at ~ 71% and ~ 27% of the bore well locations belongs to good and excellent categories of drinking water, while that at ~ 73% of the sampling locations pertains to (C3S1) irrigation water class of Richards (Diagnosis and improvement of saline and alkali soils (USDA. Agriculture handbook, Vol. 60). U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington DC, 1954). The results of the present study are useful for planning sustainable management and protection of the groundwater in coastal areas, especially around the Caspian Sea, and serve as a database for international researchers.

“…Correlation analysis among the water quality parameters in the water can facilitate understanding the relationships among those parameters, determining the sources of pollutants [40]. Meanwhile, correlation analysis was often used to reveal consistencies and differences between the ion sources [41]. Correlation analysis was conducted on the nutrition indicators (TP and TN) and major hydrochemical parameters of surface water in the study area, and the results are shown in Figure 7.…”

To study the disparity of river hydrochemical characteristics and water quality in different regions of the city, this paper took the Tuo River in the center of Suzhou, Northern Anhui, China and the Bian River on the edge of the urban area as the research objects, used Piper trigram, Gibbs diagram, and hydrogen and oxygen isotope content characteristics to analyze the geochemical characteristics of surface water in the study area, and then the improved fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was used to evaluate the water quality. The results showed that the hydrochemical types of the two rivers were SO4-Cl-Na type, and the contents of Na+, K+, SO42−, Cl−, Ca2+, total phosphorus (TP) in the Bian River at the edge of the city were much higher than those in the Tuo River at the center of the city (ANOVA, p < 0.001). Gibbs diagram showed that the ion composition of the two rivers was mainly affected by rock weathering. The results of correlation analysis and water quality evaluation showed that Bian River was greatly affected by agricultural non-point source pollution, and its water quality was poor, class IV and class V water account for 95%, while, for Tuo River, due to the strong artificial protection, class II and class III accounted for 40.74% and 59.26%, respectively, and the overall water quality was better than that of Bian River. The evaluation results of irrigation water quality showed that the samples from Tuo River were high in salt and low in alkali, which could be used for irrigation when the soil leaching conditions were good, while Bian River water samples were high in salt and medium in alkali, which was suitable for irrigation of plants with strong salt tolerance.
