Groundwater quality: Global threats, opportunities and realising the
1. Introduction. Groundwater is the largest freshwater store on earth, its use underpins a huge range of human activities as well as important ecosystems (Margat and Van der Gun, 2013; Rohde et al., 2017).Historically, groundwater quantity has often been the focus of groundwater resource assessments, and there is a real need to now focus more attention towards groundwater quality.

A holistic review on the assessment of groundwater quality using
Abstract Water is an essential element in nature. It is used in drinking, irrigation, and industry mainly. Human health is directly linked to groundwater quality and is affected by poor groundwater quality caused by excessive fertilizer application and unhygienic circumstances. Because of increased pollution, investigating the water quality became a point of research for many researchers ...
Groundwater Quality Assessment for Sustainable Drinking and ...
Identification and management of the groundwater quality are of utmost importance for maintaining freshwater resources in arid and semi-arid areas, which is essential for sustainable development. Based on the quality of the groundwater in various areas, local policymakers and water resource managers can allocate the usage of resources for either drinking or agricultural purposes. This research ...
Assessment and modeling of groundwater quality by using water quality
The present study aimed to assess and model the groundwater quality for drinking purposes of the Meknes aquifer by using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and Water Quality Index (WQI). Hence, the goal of the current study is to assess the impact of the anthropogenic activities in the Meknes region on groundwater quality using the WQI.
Groundwater quality
The groundwater quality could be affected by chemicals of agricultural use, and the residual pesticides and herbicides are recognized as the primary contaminants. By analyzing 436 groundwater samples in Alberta, Canada, Munira, Farenhorst, Sapkota, Nilsson, and Sheedy (2018) discovered 14 types of current-use pesticides.
Developing a novel tool for assessing the groundwater incorporating
This work represents a significant step toward meeting SDG-6 targets, promoting clean water accessibility, and enhancing groundwater quality management globally. 4. Conclusion. The aim of the research was to develop novel approaches for assessing groundwater quality by incorporating advanced Water Quality Index (WQI) methods.
Groundwater Quality Research
Groundwater is our invisible, vital resource. The USGS National Water Quality Program (NWQP) is focusing on studies of principal aquifers, regionally extensive aquifers that are critical sources of groundwater used for public supply. The studies have two main thrusts: Sources/Usage: Public Domain. View Media Details.

The paper presents the professional and software-related base for a hydrological operation and information system for groundwater. The system handles the ground-and drinking water, quality and ...
Evaluation of groundwater quality and its impact on human health: a
Groundwater is a vital and purest form of natural resource. In the recent years, various anthropogenic causes threat its natural quality. Therefore, its suitability for drinking, irrigation and other purposes make doubtful conditions of human well-being, especially in developing countries. In this present study, groundwater quality was evaluated for drinking, irrigation and human health hazard ...
Assessment of Groundwater Quality Using Water Quality Index from
The water quality index at SP2 is higher than that at SP1 and SP3. However, the water quality index ranges from 21.32 to 29.66. This is majorly due to the low pH level values in the Manga area that primarily cause a metallic taste of water. The water quality index of the Manga groundwater represented by the three springs therefore is less than 30.
Pollution source characterization and evaluation of groundwater quality
The Mid-Gangetic Plain, a vital farmland in India, faces increasing groundwater quality deterioration due to anthropogenic activities. This study aimed to assess groundwater quality and contamination sources in the region utilizing statistical methods. A total of 78 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed using standard methods.
