“…The highest value of Mg (8.77 mg L -1 ) was observed in Hosnabad and the lowest concentration was found in Mahilara (Table 2). For drinking purposes, the highest desirable limit of Mg is 30 mg L -1 and the maximum permissible limit is 150 mg L -1 (WHO, 1971;Al-Zarah, 2007). All the collected groundwater samples were suitable for drinking purposes.…”

Bangladesh is a riverine country. There is plenty of surface water, but people cannot use it for all purposes. Most people use groundwater every day for various purposes. A research work was conducted to observe the quality of groundwater of Gournadi upazila of Barishal District for irrigation, drinking, and livestock consumption. Twenty groundwater samples were collected from different locations in Gournadi and the pH, EC, TDS, Ca, Mg, K, Na, S, and P were analyzed in the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Patuakhali Science and Technology University. The water pH (6.70-8.28) indicated that groundwater samples were neutral to alkaline in nature and they are suitable for irrigation, drinking, and livestock consumption purposes. Based on EC values (0.188- 0.815 mS cm-1), all the samples were found non-saline and suitable for all purposes. The TDS values in groundwater samples collected from Gournadi upazila ranged from 28.8 to 721.6 mgL-1which is under the permissible limit for using in the said purposes. The concentration of Ca, Mg, Na, P, S, and K ions ranged from 3.17-7.67, 2.07-8.77, 6.20-14.65, 0.064-0.80, 3.76-13.81, and 3.34-9.47 mgL-1, respectively. On the basis of Ca, Mg, Na, P, S, and K concentrations all the groundwater samples were rated suitable for irrigation, drinking, and livestock consumption and could be recommended for these purposes.

“…Suitability of water for various uses depends on the type and concentration of minerals dissolved in water. When different chemical and physical constituents are present in water beyond their permissible limits, it becomes unsuitable for various uses can create health hazards and environmental problems [11]. In daily life, drinking water should be free of all undesirable substances and/or germs.…”

Our objective is to evaluate adequacy of water for consumption and irrigation. We collected nineteen water samples from 21 to 26, May 2017. Twenty-two physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters were taken into account, electrical conductivity, pH, total hardness, bicarbonate, nitrates, sulfates, chlorides, calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total coliforms,

“…A sinkhole is one of the karst morphologies due to ongoing loading and dissolving processes (Font-Capo et al, 2015). The more acidic the rainwater, the higher the dissolution process in carbonate rocks (Al-Zarah, 2007). The groundwater penetrating the weak zone of the limestone will accelerate the process of weathering and erosion produce of channels and cavities (Shah et al 2018).…”

The presence of natural cavities in karst morphology may cause severe civil engineering and environmental management problems. Karst formations will limit the expansion of urbanization, especially infrastructure development in limestone areas. Geophysical methods, especially electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) techniques, are effective and efficient solutions to detect voids below the surface. This study aimed to develop a subsidence hazard map as basic information for infrastructure development. The identification was made by measuring electrical resistivity tomography on eight profiles in the infrastructure development plan. In addition, it was also supported by geological mapping, particularly the structural geology and types of rocks around the site. The research area consists of massive limestone, bedded limestone, and cavity limestone with generally north-south joints. The analysis of geological mapping data and electrical resistivity tomography measurements showed that the cavity limestone was identified with a north-south elongated pattern in line with the fracture pattern found on the surface at the research area. The surface lithology type, the geological structures density, and the subsurface lithology were used to develop a subsidence hazard map. This information is beneficial in determining the safe location of infrastructure development based on disaster risk mitigation.
