Abstract:The study explores the spatial distribution and trends of groundwater pollutants focusing on calcium and four other key water quality parameters in the Gurage Zone, Ethiopia, in 2024. It uses the ArcGIS geostatistical analysis tool with the Kriging algorithm to map and analyze the spatial variability of contaminants. The primary aim is to identify areas with high levels of pollutants and understand spatial patterns. It identifies contamination hotspots associated with natural processes and human activities.
