“…Mg 2+ spatial-temporal interpolation is increasing, particularly in the northern, southern, and western regions. Due to the abundance of limestone, dolomitic limestone, and evaporitic rocks in the study area, they are the main source of magnesium in the groundwater (Abdelaziz et al, 2020).In 2015, the min and max values of Na + were found to be Na + = 3…”

Groundwater quality is signi cantly impacted by urbanization and land use land cover (LULC) changes.The current study investigated the impact of LULC on groundwater quality in Quetta city, Baluchistan province, Pakistan. During the years 2015 and 2021, a total of 58 groundwater samples were collected from drinking wells for chemical analysis. The hydrogeochemistry of groundwater was investigated using Gibbs diagrams, Piper diagrams, and spatial distribution maps. The water quality trend was depicted using the Wilcox, USSL diagram, and Water Quality Index (WQI) from 2015 to 2021. The LULC analysis of Quetta was carried out on Google Earth Engine's cloud-computing platform using imagery from the Sentinel-2 satellite with low cloud cover (<10%). The LULC data was later used to calculate the rate of landcover conversion between both years 2015 and 2021 which help to identify the spatial distribution of groundwater and assess its vulnerability to pollution. The ndings indicate an increase in the urban and agricultural classes while a decrease in the barren class. Moreover, according to the Piper diagram, groundwater in Quetta was primarily classi ed as CaMgCl type, CaCl type, and NaCl type. The Gibbs diagrams show water-rock interactions and rock weathering as the dominant evolution of hydrogeochemistry. The majority of the groundwater samples in both years were suitable for irrigation, according to the Wilcox diagram, USSL diagram, and other agricultural indices. The WQI demonstrated that the groundwater sources in the area are safe for human consumption; however, in the northern parts, WQI values are declining due to urbanization over six years.

“…On the other hand, groundwater recharge tends to decrease when the built-up area increases (Ghimire et al, 2021;Ashraf et al, 2022;Salem et al, 2023) or the vegetated land cover decreases (Sajjad et al, 2022;Siddik et al, 2022). The groundwater recharge rate was dependent on land cover, soil properties, surface runoff, and infiltration, which were influenced by land use change (Sajikumar and Remya, 2015;Owuor et al, 2016;Abdelaziz et al, 2020).…”

The effect of land use change on groundwater recharge in Nadi and Kabinburi Districts, Prachinburi Province, Thailand was studied by forecasting land use change using the CLUE model and estimating groundwater recharge using the H08 model. The results suggested that compared to the current average groundwater recharge, the groundwater recharge estimates from scenario 1 (changing the miscellaneous areas of mostly wasteland to mixed perennial areas) and scenario 2 (predicting the land use scenario for the next 10 years based on trends of land use change from the past to the present) were greater by 1.46 and 2.25%, respectively. In scenario 1, the increase in forest and mixed perennial areas increased the groundwater recharge by helping to slow down the surface runoff and, thus, increased the chances of water seepage into the soil. However, increasing the perennial area or turning wasteland into mixed perennial area (scenario 1), resulted in an increase in the groundwater recharge that was similar to the results from simulating future land use scenarios in the next 10 years (scenario 2). Therefore, to increase the efficiency of groundwater management and drought relief, the relevant agencies should adopt appropriate land use planning, be encouraged to plant perennials or support mixed farming on wasteland, restore degraded forest areas, and improve the management of water use concurrently.

“…Several studies [19][20][21][22][23][24] have been conducted using the SWAT model to investigate the response of hydrological variables to land-use change and climate variability in a watershed. Other researchers [7,[25][26][27][28][29][30] have observed that the effect of land-use and climate changes on groundwater is a major issue worldwide. Different techniques, such as chloride mass balance (CMB) techniques and empirical methods, can be used to monitor the effect of land-use and climate changes on regional groundwater [31].…”

Impact of Climate and Land-Use Change on Groundwater Resources, Study of Faisalabad District, Pakistan

Groundwater depletion has become a major concern all over the world. Recently, the rapid population growth and need for water and food have placed a massive strain on land and water resources. In this study, groundwater depletion resulting from land-use and climate change was investigated in the Faisalabad district, Pakistan, from 2000 to 2015. A Pearson correlation analysis between climatic parameters and land-use indices with groundwater was conducted to explore the major influencing factors. Interpolation maps of groundwater were generated using the inverse distance weighting interpolation (IDW) method. The Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) of five-year intervals demonstrated a strong increasing trend, whereas the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) presented a declining trend. The results also indicated a significant declining trend in groundwater levels in the region, with the annual average groundwater level decreasing at a rate of approximately 0.11 m/year. Climatic parameters (i.e., precipitation and temperature) further reveal an insignificant increasing trend estimated using the Mann–Kendall test and Sens’s slope. Overall, spatial analysis results showed a statistically significant positive trend in the groundwater level of the Faisalabad district, where the NDBI ratio is high and the NDVI is low, owing to the extensive extraction of groundwater for domestic and industrial use. These findings may be useful for a better understanding of groundwater depletion in densely populated areas and could also aid in devising safety procedures for sustainable groundwater management.
