In the present days, remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques are comprehensive tools for the assessment of water resource, its management and conservation. In this study, remote sensing and GIS techniques are taken into consideration for zonation of different groundwater prospects of Pravara basin. Several contributing factors in which groundwater potential of an area entirely or partially depends such as lithology, geomorphology, slope, soil, lineament density, drainage density, land use and rainfall are assessed individually as well as together for making the different groundwater prospect maps through influencing factor (IF) and frequency ratio (FR) techniques. In ArcGIS software, all these thematic layers are prepared using different satellite imageries and conventional data sets, obtained from different sources. All these layers are transformed into high-resolution raster format and meshed together in GIS environment using IF and FR methods. Groundwater prospect maps are constructed as a result of overlay analysis. Based on the constructed map of groundwater prospect zones, as a result of this study, the study area is divided into five categories of different groundwater potential zones: very high, high, moderate, low and very low. Validation of the resultant maps has shown that frequency ratio technique is having higher accuracy (AUC = 73%) compared to the influencing factors (AUC = 69%). The present study of groundwater zonation provides a simple and less time-consuming technique; also, the results can directly be used for planning and sustainable management in Pravara basin.

“…For this reason, it is deemed important for any meaningful sustainable development initiatives. In drier regions of the world (like the case at hand), rainfall unreliability and the resultant surface water insufficiencies have necessitated groundwater exploration despite huge investment (Abdulhamid 2014;Mehra et al 2016). In view of this increasing surface water resources predicament, a substantial number of people living in sub-Saharan Africa are gradually shifting to groundwater sources for a potable water supply (Kumar et al 2007).…”

The current review has unveiled the spatial disparity of the surface water resources availability between the upstream and downstream of the Hadejia River Basin (HRB). The surface water resources are more abundant in the upstream areas of the basin. Although rainfall and temperature dynamics are identified as the major reason for these spatial variations, other important factors include the differences in the geological formation and the land use changes. Furthermore, the differences in the geological formations between the upstream and downstream areas have further widened the disparities in the surface water resources available across the basin which are motivated by the differences in the rate of infiltration. The combined effects of these factors affect both spatial availability and the quality variation of the surface water resources. However, as per this review, there is no single integrated study reported to have aimed at addressing the problems of water resource excesses, deficiencies and/or pollution throughout the basin. To address the problem of water pollution, floods, and droughts, the current review recommends the use of riverbank filtration (RBF), aquifer recharge and recovery (ARR) and rainwater harvesting.

“…Most of these wastes are disposed of without regulatory controls, and even worse, some are disposed or stored on land surfaces untreated. Also, some technological practices impact negatively on underground water, such as spills from industrial operations, application of fertilizers or pesticides, infiltration from urban runoff, and leakage from landfills (Mehra et al, 2016). When these wastes percolate into the underlying groundwater, it contaminates groundwater thereby, making it unsafe for use.…”

This study involved investigation and comparison of the capacity of garlic and ginger particles in adsorption of lead, cadmium and chromium ions from contaminated water. This was motivated by the perennial contamination of well water by crude oil, which carried alongside heavy metals from earth surface and other sources in contact with it while discharging from oil facilities to the subsurface region. Heavy metal analysis on the well water and crude oil from the polluted site showed high level of heavy contamination. Effect of initial concentration of heavy metals, adsorbents dosage and contact time on adsorption of the lead, cadmium and chromium ions in aqueous solution by garlic and ginger particles were studied. Garlic and ginger particles adsorption process was studied using Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. Also, to describe the kinetics of the adsorption process, the Pseudo first and second order kinetics as well as the intra-particle diffusion kinetics were used to study the experimental data. The analysis showed that the percentage of lead, cadmium and chromium ions adsorbed by garlic and ginger particles decreased as the initial concentration of metals in solution and contact time were increased. Similarly, the percentage of lead, cadmium or chromium ions adsorbed by the garlic and ginger particles at equilibrium increased as adsorbent dosages was increased due to increased effective surface area of the adsorbent. Equilibrium was attained at about 60 minutes with either garlic or ginger particles. However, garlic particles adsorbed the heavy metals more than the particles of ginger at all conditions. Also, it was observed that lead ion has more affinity to both garlic and ginger particles followed by cadmium ion. The adsorption of lead, cadmium and chromium ions were better explained by the Langmuir isotherm model than the Temkin's isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity for lead, cadmium and chromium ions with garlic particles were 3.9308 mg/g, 3.3223 mg/g and 1.992 mg/g while that of ginger particles were 2.9011 mg/g, 2.3121 mg/g and 1.9543 mg/g respectively. The adsorption of lead, cadmium and chromium ions in the solution of both adsorbents revealed that diffusion and chemisorptions occurred in the adsorption process, which was best fitted in the Pseudo second order kinetics. Indicating that the Pseudo second order kinetics was the rate controlling step, and thus, will predict accurately the concentration of metal ions adsorbed. Conclusively, the garlic and ginger particles showed capacity for the removal of lead, cadmium and chromium in aqueous solution, and therefore are recommended for use in adsorption of heavy metals in wastewater.
