Macroalgae for biomonitoring of trace elements in relation to environmental parameters and seasonality in a sub-tropical mangrove estuary

Assessment of hydrogeochemistry in groundwater using water quality index model and indices approaches

“…Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the safe utilization of water resources by maintaining the “good” status of the water quality in both ground and surface water [ [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] ]]. However, the quality of surface water is rapidly declining day-by-day due to the direct discharge of effluents in waterbodies such as canal, rivers, estuaries and bays [ [ [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ]]. Therefore, the groundwater resources have been utilizing as a major replenishable source of freshwater for human consumption, farming and industrial application around the world [ [ [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] ]].…”
