“…Exchangeable Ca showed negative signifcant correlations with Cl − , NO 3 − , and HCO 3 − (Table 6). Generally, the correlation coefcient results between the selected soil chemical properties were similar to the reported correlations between similar soil properties in literature [72][73][74]. Correlation results, and a close view of other soil chemical parameters in this study, indicated that the possible main soil salt anions in Abaya and Chamo Lakes were Cl − and HCO 3 − .…”

Soil salinity/sodicity is becoming a challenge for crop production in Ethiopia’s semi-arid and arid regions. However, more information on soil salinity/sodicity needs to be available around Abaya and Chamo Lakes, South Ethiopia Rift Valley. This study aimed to assess and characterize soil salinity/sodicity and determine salt-affected soils’ morphological, physical, and chemical properties. The representative soil pits that were 60 ∗ 60 ∗ 60 cm in size were examined, and samples were taken from 0–20, 20–40, and 40–60 cm depths based on the criteria set for agricultural salt-affected soil studies. The soil properties determined include soil color, structure, consistency, bulk density, particle density, porosity, texture, pH, EC, SAR, ESP, CEC, BS, OC, TN, available P, CaCO3−, exchangeable bases, and soluble ions (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Cl−, SO4−2, NO3−, CO3−2, and HCO3−. The soil-analyzed results were rated and interpreted following a guide to standardized analysis methods for soil data. The results of this study reveal that the soils had considerable heterogeneity in soil morphological, physical, and chemical properties. The soils of the study site were highly alkaline and had very high sodium content, very high CEC value, and low levels of organic carbon and exchangeable calcium. The dominant soluble cation was sodium, followed by magnesium, calcium, and potassium in all soil depths of the pits. Similarly, Cl− was dominant among the anions throughout the soil depth, followed by HCO3−, SO42−, and NO3−. The findings of this study imply that removing sodium and salts from the soil depth may improve the salt-affected soils’ productivity in the study area. Application of organic amendments, including manures and crop residues, may also be beneficial in increasing fertility and organic matter content.

“…Mostly, the groundwater variables of factor F1 revealed the genesis of the geogenic source. However, pH, EC, and TDS resulted from mineral dissolution, the leakage of aquifer compositions, and saline bases [ 72 , 73 , 74 ], whereas Ca 2+ , Na 2+ , HCO 3 – , and SO 4 2− originated from geogenic sources, i.e., ion exchange processes, rock weathering, water-rock interaction, and dissolution of albite muscovite, and dolomite minerals. The potential sources contributing to Ca 2+ , Na 2+ , and SO 4 2− were attributed to be calcite (CaCO₃), plagioclase (NaAlSi 3 O 8 –CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 ), and sulfate bearing minerals such as gypsum polyhalite (K 2 Ca 2 Mg (SO 4 ) 6 , (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O).…”

Groundwater contamination by potentially harmful elements (PHEs) originating from the weathering of granitic and gneissic rock dissolution poses a public health concern worldwide. This study investigated physicochemical variables and PHEs in the groundwater system and mine water of the Adenzai flood plain region, in Pakistan, emphasizing the fate distribution, source provenance, chemical speciation, and health hazard using the human health risk assessment HHRA-model. The average concentrations of the PHEs, viz., Ni, Mn, Cr, Cu, Cd, Pb, Co, Fe, and Zn 0.23, were 0.27, 0.07, 0.30, 0.07, 0.06, 0.08, 0.68, and 0.23 mg/L, respectively. The average values of chemical species in the groundwater system, viz., H+, OH−, Ni2+, Mn2+, Mn3+, Cr3+, Cr6+, Cu+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Pb4+, Co2+, Co3+, Fe2+, Fe3+, and Zn2+, were 1.0 × 10−4 ± 1.0 × 10−6, 1.0 × 10−4 ± 9.0 × 10−7, 2.0 × 10−1 ± 1.0 × 10−3, 3.0 × 10−1 ± 1.0 × 10−3, 1.0 × 10−22 ± 1.0 × 10−23, 4.0 × 10−6 ± 2.0 × 10−6, 4.0 × 10−11 ± 2.0 × 10−11, 9.0 × 10−3 ± 1.0 × 10−2, 2.0 × 10−1 ± 2.0 × 10−3, 7.0 × 10−2 ± 6.0 × 10−2, 5.0 × 10−2 ± 5.0 × 10−2, 2.0 × 10−2 ± 1.5 × 10−2, 6.0 × 10−2 ± 4.0 × 10−2, 8.0 × 10−31 ± 6.0 × 10−31, 3.0 × 10−1 ± 2.0 × 10−4, 4.0 × 10−10 ± 3.0 × 10−10, and 2.0 × 10−1 ± 1.0 × 10−1. The mineral compositions of PHEs, viz. Ni, were bunsenite, Ni(OH)2, and trevorite; Mn viz., birnessite, bixbyite, hausmannite, manganite, manganosite, pyrolusite, and todorokite; Cr viz., chromite and eskolaite; Cu viz., CuCr2O4, cuprite, delafossite, ferrite-Cu, and tenorite; Cd viz., monteponite; Pb viz, crocoite, litharge, massicot, minium, plattnerite, Co viz., spinel-Co; Fe viz., goethite, hematite, magnetite, wustite, and ferrite-Zn; and Zn viz., zincite, and ZnCr2O4 demarcated undersaturation and supersaturation. However, EC, Ca2+, K+, Na+, HCO3−, Cr, Cd, Pb, Co, and Fe had exceeded the WHO guideline. The Nemerow’s pollution index (NPI) showed that EC, Ca2+, K+, Na+, HCO3−, Mn, Cd, Pb, Co, and Fe had worse water quality. Principal component analysis multilinear regression (PCAMLR) and cluster analysis (CA) revealed that 75% of the groundwater contamination originated from geogenic inputs and 18% mixed geogenic-anthropogenic and 7% anthropogenic sources. The HHRA-model suggested potential non-carcinogenic risks, except for Fe, and substantial carcinogenic risks for evaluated PHEs. The women and infants are extremely exposed to PHEs hazards. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks in children, males, and females had exceeded their desired level. The HHRA values of PHEs exhibited the following increasing pattern: Co > Cu > Mn > Zn > Fe, and Cd > Pb > Ni > Cr. The higher THI values of PHEs in children and adults suggested that the groundwater consumption in the entire region is unfit for drinking, domestic, and agricultural purposes. Thus, all groundwater sources need immediate remedial measures to secure health safety and public health concerns.

“…The electrical conductivity value ranged from 305-5570 µs/cm, with a mean value of 1200 µs/cm, in all groundwater sources of district Sanghar. The high (EC) water samples reflect leakage or suspension of the aquifer constituents or other bases such as saline water bodies [45]. The pH of samples was in the range of 6.8 to 8.7, having a mean value of 7.6, showing the alkaline nature of groundwater sources.…”

Arsenic (As) contamination in drinking groundwater is a common environmental problem in Pakistan. Therefore, sixty-one groundwater samples were collected from various groundwater sources in District Sanghar, Sindh province, Pakistan, to understand the geochemical behavior of elevated As in groundwater. Statistical summary showed the cations and anions abundance in decreasing order of Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+, and HCO3− > Cl− > SO42− > NO3−. Arsenic was found with low to high concentration levels ranging from 5 µg to 25 µg/L with a mean value of 12.9 µg/L. A major water type of groundwater samples was mixed with NaCl and CaHCO3 type, interpreting the hydrochemical behavior of rock–water interaction. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed the mixed anthropogenic and natural sources of contamination in the study area. Moreover, rock weathering and exchange of ions controlled the hydrochemistry. Chloro-alkaline indices revealed the dominance of the reverse ion exchange mechanism in the region. The entropy water quality index (EWQI) exposed that 17 samples represent poor water, and 11 samples are not suitable for drinking.
