“…Hussain et al (Hussain and Abed 2019) applied the software of the groundwater modeling system (GMS) together with the GIS software to build the model with threedimensional as well as to determine the groundwater usage by taking the data from 35 wells in the aquifer of Alluvial fan of Mandali, Diyala, Iraq. They selected three scenarios to determine the hydraulic conductivity, coefficient of storage, and specific yield for the wells distributed in the study area depending on minimum drawdown.…”

Most of the third world countries having rivers passing through them suffer from the water contaminant problem. This problem is considered so difficult to get the water quality within the standard allowable limits for drinking, as well as for industrial and agricultural purposes. This research aims to assess the water quality of the Tigris River using the water quality index method and GIS software. Twelve parameters (Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl, SO4, HCO3, TH, TDS, BOD5, NO3, and EC) were taken from 14 stations along the river. The weighted arithmetic method was applied to compute the water quality index (WQI). The interpolation method (IDW) was applied in ArcGIS 10.5 to produce the prediction maps for 12 parameters at 11 stations along the Tigris River during the wet and dry seasons in 2016. The regression prediction was applied on three stations in the Tigris River between observed values and predicted values, from the prediction maps, in both seasons. The results showed that the regression prediction for all parameters was given the acceptable values of the determination coefficient (R2). Furthermore, the state of water quality for the Tigris River was degraded downstream of the Tigris River, especially at the station (8) in Aziziyah in the wet and dry seasons and increase degradation clearly at Qurnah (Basrah province) in the south of Iraq. This paper considers the whole length of the Tigris River for the study. This is important to give comprehensive knowledge about the contamination reality of the river. Such that it becomes easier to understand the problem of contamination, analyze it, and then find the suitable treatments and solutions.

Objectives: To assess the carbonate concentration in relation to calcium and magnesium concentrations and to determine TDS and sodium concentration in relation to other cations. The study's overall goal is to examine the suitability of groundwater for irrigation/agricultural purposes in Molakalmur Taluk of Chitradurga District, Karnataka, India. Methods: The current study was carried out to analyze the water quality and spatial distribution of physicochemical parameters of groundwater in study area. A total of 92 groundwater samples were collected during the pre-monsoon period; ArcGIS 9.2 was used to create a spatial distribution map based on a geographic information system. The concentrations of various ions like Ca +2 , K +1 , Cl -1 , Mg +2 , HCO 3 -1 , Na +1 , CO 3 -2 , and SO 4 -2 were evaluated as per BIS 3025 (2014) and compared to various irrigation standards like Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Percentage of Sodium (%Na), Magnesium Adsorption Ratio (MAR), Kelley's Ratio/Kelly's Index (KI), Permeability Index (PI) Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Hardness (TH), Total Salt Concentration, Chloride in irrigation water and integrated standards such as USSL and Wilcox diagram. Findings: During the pre-monsoon period, the majority of the samples in the study area fell into the hard to very hard water category. According to Evaluated water quality indices like SAR, MAR, PI, KI, SSP, Cl and total salt concentration around 5 to 15 percent water samples are not good for agricultural purpose and as per the integrated parameters like USSL and Wilcox the percentage samples that are unsuitable for irrigation is going up to 30 percentage due to presence of higher Electrical conductivity. Novelty: In the study region, there is no perennial river and the main ion chemistry of Molakalmur Taluk's groundwater has never been investigated before. The present work attempts to study the suitability of water for agricultural purpose. The findings of the study will aid in the collecting of crucial data on groundwater quality in Molakalmur Taluk. The findings of the study could also help groundwater managers and urban planners to restore and improve groundwater quality.

Rawadanau is a tropical mountain swamp located in Serang, Banten, Indonesia. Rawadanau groundwater is the main source of supply for the Cilegon Banten industrial area. Knowing the origin and quality of the groundwater can help preserve existing resources. This paper aims to clarify the origin of Rawadanau groundwater with new evidence of stable isotopes (18O and 2H) and hydrochemical data. Field measurements included pH, temperature, EC, HCO3ˉ, while the analyses of cations, anions and stable isotopes were carried out in the laboratory. The existing water supplies include springs, excavated wells, and river water. Cluster hierarchy analysis based on water chemistry and stable isotopes can be grouped into two clusters, cluster K (K1 and K2) and cluster L. Data δ18O and δ2H springs in Rawadanau indicate that they are of meteoric origin and that there has been evaporation from several springs. Water comes from meteoric water with a stable isotope content of δ18O between -6.39 to -4.82 ‰ and δ2H between -41.35 to -31.30 ‰, which are controlled by two main mechanisms, namely rock dissolution and evaporation dominance. Aquifers are composed of volcanic rocks with a dominant composition of porphyritic andesite, basaltic andesite, and andesite. According to the multivariate statistical analyses results other than pH and SO4 2-, all parameters (cations and anions) showed a significant correlation. There are four hydrochemical facies of groundwater, namely Ca-HCO3, Ca-Mg-HCO3, Mg-Ca-HCO3, and Na-Cl.
