Comprehensive spatio-temporal assessment of groundwater hydrochemistry and sustainable defluoridation in a semi-arid region

Integrated assessment of groundwater quality and human health risks in a semiarid region of Kemaliye (Türkiye)

In this study, the hydrochemical characteristics, drinking water suitability, and potential human health risks of groundwater in the Karapınar region (Kemaliye, Erzincan, Türkiye), which has become a critical drinking water resource due to drought associated with climate change and the depletion of surface water resour...

Integrated Assessment of Groundwater Quality and Suitability for Drinking and Irrigation in the Nineveh Plain, Iraq.

Groundwater is the principal source of domestic and agricultural water supply in the Nineveh Plain, northern Iraq, where population growth, agricultural expansion, climate variability, and declining surface-water availability have increased pressure on groundwater resources. A study of the groundwater hydrochemistry, i...

Hydrogeochemical assessment of groundwater quality and suitability for irrigation in a semi-arid climate (Northeastern Algeria)

Assessment of groundwater quality through hydrochemical and spatial analysis for domestic and agricultural uses

Groundwater plays a crucial role in Southeastern Morocco, where arid climate conditions, recurrent droughts, and increasing agricultural demands make it the primary source of water for domestic and irrigation purposes. In the absence of previous studies on the Bouanane watershed (18,393 km²), this work represents the f...

Using urban nitrate-rich groundwater for peri-urban irrigation in Dakar, Senegal: an evaluation of water quality concerns

Contamination of urban groundwater from faecal effluent in sewered and unsewered areas is a widespread constraint to its use for water-supply provision. Here, we present the first multi-annual (2018–2024) assessment of the hydrogeochemistry and irrigation suitability of urban groundwater from the Thiaroye Aquifer. Gr...

Groundwater and Surface Water Quality for Irrigation in the Brazilian Semi-arid Region: Hydrochemical and Microbiological Assessment

Anthropogenic pressures and climate change are increasing the risk of water quality degradation in semi-arid regions, particularly where water resources are intensively exploited for irrigation. This study evaluated the quality of groundwater (wells tapping sedimentary and crystalline aquifers) and surface water (the J...
