“…The outcomes indicated that the WQI is in the range of 50-100, which shows the proper quality of water for irrigation. 51 In other studies, other characteristics such as pH, water temperature, hardness, TDS, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, HCO 3 -, CO 3 2-, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Na + , Cl -, and SO 4 2were calculated to determine the rate of corrosion and fouling. 44,52 In addition to these variables, García-Ávila et al measured other factors such as sulfate, phosphate, and nitrite to predict and control corrosion.…”

Corrosion and scaling are among the problems that may arise when storing water in tanks. Several factors affect the corrosion and scaling of water, which include pH, temperature, alkalinity, Ca2+ hardness, TDS, concentrations of Cl–, SO42–, CO32–, and HCO3–. Also, several indices can be measured using these properties such as the Langelier saturation index, Ryznar index, Aggressive index, Larson, Scold index, water quality index, and Puckorius index. These indicators determine the degree of corrosiveness and sedimentation of water. The purpose of this review article was to study the impact of various factors on the corrosiveness and sedimentation of water. To this end, different sources of water in different countries were studied and the impact of physical and chemical parameters on their corrosiveness was investigated. Also, the reaction mechanism of water corrosion inside the pipe was studied. Finally, practical and constructive suggestions were presented to solve the problems of corrosion and sedimentation of desalination water.

“…Besides, the organic water pollution index (OWPI) was calculated through eight parameters based on the calculation of Bouderbala (2021) [10]. The arithmetic mean of eight parameters gives the level of organic water pollution, including pH, DO, BOD, COD, N-NH 4 + , N-NO 2 -, N-NO 3 -, P-PO 4 3-.…”

This study evaluates the quality and identify key variables influence on surface water quality in Soc Trang province, Vietnam. Water parameters of total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), nitrite (N-NO2-), nitrate (N-NO3-), ammonium (N-NH4+), orthophosphate (PO43--P), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), turbidity (turb), pH; temperature (T), sulfate (SO42-), electrical conductivity (EC), chloride (Cl-), coliform, and iron (Fe) were used for the assessment. The findings revealed that most of the water parameters of TSS, DO, BOD, COD, TOC, N-NH4+, N-NO2-, Cl-, Fe, and coliforms exceeded the limits of QCVN 08-MT:2015/BTNMT, column A2, B1. The water quality in Hau River was better than the other locations. Saline intrusion has become the concern for surface quality in the study area. PCA showed that five PCs explained 87.9% of the variation of surface water quality in the study area and the parameters including BOD, N-NH4+, TN, TOC, Cl-, TSS, SO42-, Fe and coliforms were the main variables influencing surface water quality in the study area. Potential sources of water pollution are saline intrusion, hydrological regime, runoff, agriculture, industry, and domestic activities.

“…In Algeria, like most developing countries, the deterioration of surface water quality is of growing concern. Many studies have been conducted to define the problems of water quality degradation in lakes and dams, particularly at spatiotemporal scales (BOUGUERNE ET AL., 2017; MEBARKIA ET AL., 2017; BAHROUN & CHAIB, 2017;HAMIL ET AL., 2018;BIDHURI & KHAN, 2020;BOUDERBALA, 2021). Among the methods used for the determination of accurate information concerning hydrochemical water quality, we mention the use of multivariate statistical techniques, such as Cluster Analysis (CA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which have been applied to characterize water quality and to determine the temporal variation caused by external factors, and also helped to identify the possible factors that influence water quality (SHRESTHA & KAZAMA, 2007;GARIZI ET AL., 2011).…”

This study was carried out on the surface water of Oued Fodda dam in western Algeria, and aimed to evaluate the seasonal variations of chemical characteristics with the aim to define the processes controlling the mineralization of surface water in this dam. The results showed significant variations in the majority of parameters during the study period from 2009 to 2013, indicating slightly alkaline water, and a SO4-Cl-Ca-Mg water type. Principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were used to explain the correlations between the parameters analysed, and the probable sources of surface water contamination. The calculation of saturation indices (SI) of water indicated undersaturated water with respect to halite (NaCl), and equilibrium with respect to the other minerals. While, the temporal variation of physico-chemical parameters such as EC, TDS, SO4 2-, Cl-, Ca2+, Mg2+ indicated a reverse adjustment between physico-chemical parameters and water volumes (WV) in this dam, which can be explained by the weathering of silicate and carbonate minerals, these were justified by the use of ionic ratios, diagrams and scatter plots and multivariate statistical techniques. Conversely, evaluation of the organic water pollution level in this dam showed a water quality from moderately to severely polluted.
