“…This index was proposed by Rao, (2011) and has been applied in many researches as a tool for assessing and monitoring the quality of drinking water (Egbueri and Unigwe, 2019;Olabode et al 2020;Shukla and Saxena, 2020). For the calculation of pollution index of groundwater, 5 steps are required.…”

The study area is located in Baiji province characterized by anthropogenic activities which may affect the groundwater quality. Therefore, the present work was intended for assessing groundwater quality and its suitability for drinking. Groundwater samples were collected from 33 different well, then analyzed to determine 20 parameter which are TDS, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl, SO4, NO3, Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, As, B and Se. Nemerow Pollution Index Synthetic Pollution Index, and Pollution Index of Groundwater were used for determining groundwater suitability for human consumption. Nemerow Pollution Index values indicate that groundwater pollution is ranged from seriously to moderately polluted. According to Synthetic Pollution Index results, the water samples were moderately polluted to unsuitable for drinking. Depending on the rating of Pollution Index of Groundwater values, groundwater was polluted.

“…The value of the Schoeller chloro-alkaline indices can be positive or negative (Olabode et al 2020). Negative values of both CAI 1 and CAI 2 indicate an exchange between Ca 2+ or Mg 2+ in groundwater with Na + and K + ions in the aquifer medium, while positive values of these indices imply that the reverse cation exchange occurs (Maskooni et al 2021).…”

The qualitative status of groundwater is often underestimated. This is because distinguishing trends of hydrogeochemistry variation linked to anthropogenic pressure from natural trends in groundwater is challenging. The study aims to evaluate the effect of the natural processes on the limits of temporal variability of the natural background level (NBL) in springs draining aquifer units with different vulnerabilities. Shallow groundwater samples of eighteen natural springs were investigated. Statistical analysis and geochemical modelling were used. The results showed that the natural temporal variability limits of HCO3−, Na+, K+, Cl− and SO42− in high vulnerability aquifers were narrower than in moderate and low vulnerability aquifers. This pattern was determined by the stronger buffering effect of carbonate equilibrium, sulphate reduction, and dilution processes on the variation of these major ions in high vulnerability aquifers. Meanwhile, natural temporal variability limits of TDS, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in high vulnerability aquifers were wider than in moderate and low vulnerability aquifers. This pattern was related to the stronger buffering effect of ion exchange on the variability limits of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in springs of moderate and low vulnerability aquifer units than the buffering effect of weaker carbonate dissolution and higher dilution intensity on the variability limits of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in springs of high vulnerability aquifer. The results of this research could be helpful for the reasonable integrated management and effective protection of groundwater resources.
