“…Water quality standards are the foundation for the quality based control program and required for the treatment process. These standards support efforts to achieve and maintain protective water quality conditions (Omaka et al, 2014;AlSuhaimi et al, 2017).…”

“…Thus, it tends to be higher in arid/desert areas than in tropical areas that receive abundant rainfall. It also enhanced in agricultural arid areas due to cyclic salting process, in which salts are concentrated and precipitated in the soil zone from irrigated water due to high evaporation rates, and then leached from the soil zone by either irrigation or rainwater and percolated, hence reaching the groundwater (AlSuhaimi et al, 2017). The TDS was found to be in an acceptable range for the water samples collected from the Delbela, Gera, Docatu and Chiro.…”

To improve water quality, there should be a mechanism of keeping safe water source from chemical contaminants in an effective and protective way through the application of regular checkup and with interventions by taking exact measure periodically before it is supplied for usage. The intention of this research is aimed at determining the level of common cations, anions, heavy metals and physical parameters in drinking water supply system in, Konso and its surrounding area, Southwestern Ethiopia. Water samples were collected from 23 different locations in the area where there is a hand pump or motorized supply system that is used for drinking purpose. The collected samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters including total alkalinity, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, alkalinity, total hardness and total suspended solid. Common cations (Li + , K + , Na + , Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ), common anions (NO 3 -, SO 4 2-, PO 4 2-, F -and Cl − ) and heavy metals (Pd, Ni, Mn, Pb, Co, Zn, and Cu) were analyzed. Accordingly, the results obtained show that most of the physical and some common ions and heavy metals were within the accepted range of the guideline recommended by WHO. However, some parameters are at alarming state as compared to the WHO standards for drinking purposes, thereby suggesting the need for treatment and precautionary measures for use of the particular ground water.

“…The principal source of Ca 2+ in groundwater is the dissolution of carbonate from sedimentary rocks and minerals such as limestone, dolomite, and calcite. Some harsh agricultural operations can play a key role in developing calcium and magnesium weathering processes of silicate minerals and the hydrolysis processes of CaCO 3 and Ca-Mg (CO 3 ) 2 , both of which are magnesium-rich minerals (Alsuhaimi et al, 2019 ). The sodium and potassium levels are both within safe ranges.…”

Groundwater pollution of the watershed is mainly influenced by the multifaceted interactions of natural and anthropogenic process. To analyse the spatial–temporal variation and pollution source identification and apportionment, the dataset was subjected to a globally acknowledged coherent technique using water quality indices and chemometric techniques (principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. The bulk of the samples tested were below the BIS’s permissible levels. Groundwater samples from the pre- and post-monsoon seasons mostly contained the anions HCO − 3 > Cl − > SO 2− 4 > NO − 3 , while the primary cations were Ca 2+ > Mg 2+ > Na + > K + . Groundwater was alkaline and hard at most of the sites. According to hydro-geochemical facies and relationships, Piper diagrams, and principal component analysis, weathering, dissolution, leaching, ion exchange, and evaporation were the key mechanisms influencing groundwater quality. The hydrochemical facies classified the groundwater samples into the Ca-Mg-HCO 3 type. For all the sampling locations, PIG was determined to be 0.43, 0.52, 0.47, 0.48, 1.00, and 0.70; respectively. The majority of the test locations fell into the low to medium contamination zone, as determined by the groundwater pollution index (PIG) and contamination index. Three principal components, which together account for 93.8% of the total variance, were identified via PCA. The study’s findings confirm the value of these statistical techniques in interpreting and understanding large datasets and offering reliable information to reduce the time and expense of programmes for monitoring and evaluating water quality.
