“…Generally, elevated levels of NO 3 ¯ and TDS indicate the presence of anthropogenic in uences within a speci c area(Sunkari et al 2019). The higher concentrations of NO 3 ¯ in groundwater can be attributed to agricultural practices involving the wider application of fertilizers(Ali et al 2021)(Khan et al 2021). Field observations and land use indicated that sewage and chemical fertilizer are more likely to be the main origin of elevated NO 3 ¯ levels in the investigated study area.…”

“…Figure 8 demonstrates the positive correlation between values of SI for gypsum and halite with total dissolved solids (TDS) in all groundwater samples, implying that the salinity of water samples will increase over time, leading to higher TDS levels. Furthermore, the geochemical modelling of uorite suggests that approximately half of the samples are under-saturated, indicating a likelihood of increased F¯ concentration over time (Ali et al 2021).…”

Groundwater in Afghanistan stands as the predominant water source employed for potable consumption, household utilization, agricultural irrigation, and industrial applications. Major cities of Afghanistan are largely dependent on groundwater resources. However, the groundwater quality of major cities in Afghanistan was not investigated in detail. In this study, we investigated Mazar-e-Sharif city of northern Afghanistan intending to identify the major hydrogeochemical processes controlling groundwater chemistry and evaluate the groundwater quality of Mazar-e-Sharif using an integrated approach. We found that 1) The prevailing groundwater within the study area are predominantly characterized by Na-(Ca)-HCO3 and Ca-(Mg)-SO4 water types. 2) Physicochemical variables such as NO3¯, F¯, TDS, and SO42− exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) safe limits in many wells. 3) Weathering of silicates and cation exchange are the main hydrogeochemical processes controlling hydro-geochemistry in the aquifer. 4) The high salinity observed in the groundwater of Mazar-e-Sharif is likely attributed to a combination of geogenic and natural factors and the Cl/Br ratios suggest that salinity may originate from evaporitic lacustrine and evaporite deposits. The findings of this study hold value for decision-makers in formulating a proficient strategy for the management of groundwater resources in Mazar-e-Sharif City in achieving the UN sustainable goal (SDG) of providing sustainable water for all.

“…Globally, groundwater generates approximately 40% of foodstuffs and 30% of water for consumption [6,7]. Aquifer deposits and water recharge paths have a considerable effect on groundwater quality (physical and chemical characteristics), rendering it unfit for consumption and irrigation [8][9][10][11][12]. In some cases, groundwater is contaminated by heavy minerals as a consequence of human activities such as mineral extraction and manufacturing, decreasing water quality [13][14][15][16].…”

Groundwater is the single source of water in El-Dakhla Oasis, western desert, Egypt. The main objective of this study is an assessment of groundwater in the area for agriculture and drinking compared to Egyptian and World Health Organization criteria. Most the contamination of water in the study area comes from human and agricultural activities. Thirty soil profiles were studied in the area and we assessed soil quality. Seventy-four samples were taken from the area’s groundwater wells to assess the chemical characteristics of the groundwater. Moreover, the contamination of groundwater by farming and anthropogenic activities was assessed using a land use/land cover (LULC) map. Nine standard water criteria were determined to assess groundwater quality for agriculture. Furthermore, the resulting risk to human health and agricultural crops has been addressed. Therefore, the drinking quality of groundwater samples is graded as low as the hydrochemical study showed high TH, EC, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, and Fe2+ contents of 40.5%, 2.7%, 1.4%, 3.8%, 1.6%, 86.5%, and 100%, respectively. Human health is risked by drinking this water, which negatively affects hair, skin, and eyes, with greatest exposure to enteric pathogens. Using these criteria, the majority of groundwater samples cause harmful effects on soil types and are toxic to sensitive crops (vegetable crops). In conclusion, the output of this research is a map showing groundwater suitable for consumption and agriculture in El-Dakhla Oasis based on all indices using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) model. Additionally, there was evidence of a linear relationship between soil quality and irrigation water quality (R2 = 0.90). This emphasis on tracking changes in soil/water quality was brought on by agricultural practices and environmental variables.
