“…According to Giggenbach [32], immature waters are inadequate for the evaluation of equilibrium temperatures. This result confirms that the chemical composition of groundwater is mainly controlled by the chemical dissolution of the rock [18].…”

“…Most of the substances dissolved in groundwater are in an ionic state. Some ions are almost always present, and their sum represents almost all the dissolved ions [18]. These major ions are Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Na + , K + , CO 3 2− , HCO 3 − , SO 4 2− , Cl − .…”

“…Piper diagram is a useful tool to identify different hydrochemical facies or origins of groundwater by plotting the content of cations and major anions in groundwater, indicating the origin, source of dissolved salts and processes that affect the characteristics of these natural waters [18,22] The hydrochemical diagram was constructed using AquaChem 2014.2 software. Figure 5 shows the types of water in all studied sites.…”

“…If the halite solution is responsible for the presence of Na + , this molar ratio is approximately 1 [37]. On the other hand, if the value of this ratio is >1, it can be assumed that Na + is released from a weathering reaction with silicates [18], with an ion-exchange process [22,38]. In the current studied area, the Na + /Cl − molar ratio varied from 1.268 to 1.861, with an average of 1.616, which means that all samples show Na + release as a result of a silicate weathering reaction process, as demonstrated by hydrochemical facies.…”

“…Chloro Alkaline Indices (CAI) can be positive or negative depending on the exchange of sodium and potassium in the rock with magnesium and calcium in the water and vice versa [43]. The positive CAI indicates the exchange of Na + and K + of the water with Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ of the rocks, and the negative indicates that there is an exchange of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ of the water with Na + and K + of the rocks [18,36]. In the study area, a negative alkaline chlorine index was obtained, indicating the ionic exchange of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ from the water with Na + and K + ions from the rock this because it is not a saline intrusion zone (Table 10).…”

This work assessed the groundwater hydrogeochemistry and the drinking water quality of 10 wells supplying the urban area of Zamora, Michoacán, Mexico. Two sampling campaigns were conducted in May 2018 (dry season) and November 2018 (wet season) to describe the chemistry of the water and its interaction with the rock. Physical and chemical constituents (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, color, turbidity, solids, total hardness, total alkalinity, chemical and biochemical oxygen demands), major components (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO42−, PO43−, HCO3−, CO32−, Cl−, N-NO3−, and N-NH3), as well as trace elements (As, Fe, Mn, Ba, Al, Sb, Co, V, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, Tl, Pb) were analyzed. Results showed groundwater with a slight tendency to alkalinity. The hydrogeochemical facies observed are Ca2+-HCO3− in all sites. Hydrochemical diagrams indicate immature, cold, non-saline, and uncontaminated water with short residence time. Water–rock interaction predominates. The water in the study area is appropriate for drinking use according to Mexican and international regulations with an excellent quality in 7 wells and good in the other 3.
