“…Despite being extensively adopted in the USA for several decades to alleviate stressed aquifers, there have been no reported instances of groundwater contamination linked to drywells (Brian 2018 ). Additionally, proper sitting and periodic maintenance of drywells were recommended by Edwards et al ( 2016 ) in dealing with most contaminants found in urban stormwater, while contemporary drywell designs often incorporate pretreatment or sedimentation chambers (Lock et al 2017 ; Edwards et al 2022 ).…”

“…Nevertheless, the lack of guidelines and frameworks for identifying suitable sites for drywells hinders their global adoption. Despite numerous studies focusing on drywells, the pertinent literature has primarily concerned with their infiltration performances and clogging as well as the groundwater quality (Chahar et al 2012 ; Liang et al 2018 ; Glass et al 2020 ; Justino et al 2021 ; Edwards et al 2022 ). Yet, none of these efforts neither devoted to assist in decision-makers with a comprehensive means of evaluating large areas for potential drywell construction nor allowing them to focus on regions that show promise with minimal financial and computational burden.…”

Groundwater resources worldwide face significant challenges that require urgent implementation of sustainable measures for effective long-term management. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is regarded as one of the most promising management technologies to address the degradation of groundwater resources. However, in urban aquifers, locating suitable areas that are least vulnerable to contamination for MAR implementation is complex and challenging. Hence, the present study proposes a framework encapsulating the combined assessment of groundwater vulnerability and MAR site suitability analysis to pinpoint the most featured areas for installing drywells in Kayseri, Turkey. To extrapolate the vulnerable zones, not only the original DRASTIC but also its multi-criteria decision-making (MCDA)–based modified variants were evaluated with regard to different hydrochemical parameters using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). Besides, the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) rationale was adopted to signify the importance level of criteria and the robustness of the framework was highlighted with sensitivity analysis. In addition, the decision layers and the attained vulnerability layer were combined using the weighted overlay (WOA). The findings indicate that the DRASTIC-SWARA correlates well with the arsenic (AUC = 0.856) and chloride (AUC = 0.648) and was adopted as the vulnerability model. Groundwater quality parameters such as chloride and sodium adsorption ratio, as well as the vadose zone thickness, were found to be the most significant decision parameters with importance levels of 16.75%, 14.51%, and 15.73%, respectively. Overall, 28.24% of the study area was unsuitable for recharge activities with high to very high vulnerability, while the remaining part was further prioritized into low to high suitability classes for MAR application. The proposed framework offers valuable tool to decision-makers for the delineation of favorable MAR sites with minimized susceptibility to contamination.

“…In this scenario, groundwater quality becomes a signi cant concern due to the imbalance in natural and anthropogenic activities in the regions with desertic characteristics (Dashora et al, 2022). These regions struggle with water security due to fewer precipitation events that might impact aquifer recharge and water quality (Edwards et al, 2022). Moreover, water supply to the industrial units, governed by governmental bodies, is also intensifying water stress that could affect the groundwater table and quality (Haritash et al, 2016).…”

Globally, groundwater is a precious natural asset, serving as a dependable source for irrigation and drinking water requirements. This study is primarily focused on delving into the geochemistry of groundwater in the Kishangarh area, located in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan. In pursuit of this goal, the research is divided into three parts within the Kishangarh region: Badgaon Rural (KSGR), Kishangarh Urban (KSGU), and the Kishangarh RIICO marble industrial area (KSGI). Various analytical methods have been executed to assess the suitability of groundwater for various purposes based on pH, electric conductivity, total dissolved solids, hardness, salinity, major anions, and cations. The ionic trend of anions and cations was found as HCO3− >Cl−>SO42−>NO3−>Br−> NO2−>F− and Na+>Ca2+>Mg2+>K+, respectively. Applying statistical techniques such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Pearson Correlation Matrix Analysis (PCMA) makes it evident that the physicochemical attributes of water sourced from the aquifers in the study area result from a blend of diverse origins. In addition, Gibbs, Piper, Durov, and scatter plots assessed groundwater's geochemical evolution. The scatter plots have evaluated the impression of mine acid leachate, evaporitic dissolution, and silicate weathering to upsurge salt formation in the groundwater. The pollution risk evaluation within the study area was conducted using the Groundwater Pollution Index (GPI). This index revealed a notable concern for pollution, particularly in the northern segment of the study region. As a result, it can be inferred that the fine aeolian sand and silt formations in the northern part are relatively more vulnerable to contamination.
