The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation in Phulpur Upazila, Bangladesh, based on its hydrochemical attributes. In our research, we examined twenty groundwater specimens from shallow and hand tube wells, adhering to international and national guidelines. The data showed groundwater pH levels from 5.67 to 6.84, signifying slightly acidic to neutral properties. Total dissolved solids ranged from 79 to 298 mg/l, and conductivity varied between 120 and 832 μS/cm. Notably, the primary cations and anions were sequenced as Ca > Mg > Na > K and HCO3 > Cl > SO4 > PO4, respectively. A marked correlation was discerned among the physicochemical parameters, and the predominant groundwater type was magnesium-bicarbonate (Mg-HCO3). The main geochemical activity was identified as silicate weathering, pointing to significant rock-water interactions in the region. The groundwater displayed moderate salinity and low alkalinity, qualifying them as 'excellent to good' and 'normal' in quality metrics, respectively. The soluble sodium percentage was rated as 'excellent'. On multiple assessment scales, the groundwater quality was deemed 'good' for irrigation. In line with established classification systems, most samples were suitable for drinking and irrigation. Hence, the area's groundwater is viable for consumption and agricultural utilization. Cumulatively, our research offers critical insights for sustainable groundwater stewardship in the region, providing a foundation for policymakers to guarantee the sustained provision of high-quality groundwater for diverse applications.

“…According to the water quality standards of WHO (2011) and DPHE, Bangladesh (2019), the pH of drinking water should be between 6.5 and 8.5 and the measured pH of the water of the studied region is within the allowable limit. A similar study in Savar Upazila documented the mean pH value of 6.90 which also followed the standard range of WHO (2011) and DPHE, Bangladesh (2019) (Hasan et al, 2022). The level of pH in the water of Dhaka metropolitan city was obtained (6.54±0.42) which was found slightly acidic in nature (Sharmin et al, 2020) while the mean pH was characterized as alkaline (8.07±0.51) in an industrial area of Narayanganj City (Rahman et al, 2020).…”

Safe and clean water is an indispensable component for all kinds of living beings. An attempt was taken to examine the drinking water, particularly the groundwater quality of Savar Upazila under the Dhaka District of Bangladesh by assessing some physicochemical parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), and temperature and the levels of different heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, and Zn). To measure the concentration of the six selected metals from the groundwater samples collected from 38 different locations of Savar Upazila, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) was used. Our results showed that the pH, TDS, EC, and temperature ranged from (6.56-7.72), (73-437 mg/L), (117-654 µS/cm), and (27.7-30.5ºC), respectively which were found within the limit of water standards recommended by national and global regulatory authorities. The mean concentration of different studied metals in the reported water samples of Savar Upazila followed the order of Fe > Zn > Mn > Cr > Cu > Cd. The average concentration was 0.136±0.188 mg/L, 0.121±0.289 mg/L, 0.033±0.060 mg/L, 0.015±0.0096 mg/L, 0.0104±0.005 mg/L, and 0.0022±0.0019 mg/L for Fe, Zn, Mn, Cr, Cu, and Cd, respectively. In this study, Water quality index (WQI) was also calculated for the studied samples and it was observed that the groundwater of Savar Upazila belonged in the good to excellent categories and can be recommended as suitable for drinking purposes.

“…The multivariate statistical technique is a comprehensive numerical method to order, systematize, and extract tangible insights from any extended array of datasets [ 41 , 62 ]. In this study, a combined array of methods, particularly Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Pearson's Correlation, were taken into account for understanding the relationships among the parameters considered for St. Martin's Island using statistical software, namely SPSS (version 20).…”

“…In the majority of cases, spatial distribution and heavy metal accumulation in marine plants and organism cells were assessed [ [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] ]. Regionally in Bangladesh, some research endeavors on heavy metal indexing and ecological risk indexing were taken into consideration [ 41 ]. But no such study has yet been conducted in the study area.…”
