“…In order to utilize and protect the groundwater efficiently, it is necessary to grasp a series of physicochemical parameters such as EC, TDS, and major ions (Ghalib 2017). For getting an insight into the water-rock interactions and hydrochemical characteristics, conventional hydrochemical methods and multivariate statistical methods have been conducted on various water bodies (Xiao et al 2015;Pazand et al 2018;Kshetrimayum & Laishram 2020). The suitability of irrigation has been reported and numerous studies have been implied to evaluate the irrigation (Sharma et al 2017;Adimalla 2020;Ghazaryan et al 2020).…”

Lan-gan region, one of traditional agricultural production base in northern Anhui Province, East China, has rare hydrochemical reports on the formation mechanism and irrigation assessment of the Quaternary deeper confined groundwater aquifer. To better master hydrochemical characteristics, solute source, and irrigation properties, twenty-five water samples were collected from the individual digging well. Gibbs diagram, Piper diagram, ionic ratio, and multivariate statistical analysis were carried out to delineate the hydrochemical facies and water-rock interactions. Meanwhile, the USSL and Wilcox diagram, and the irrigation water quality indices were conducted to illustrate the suitability for irrigation. The results indicate that the order is Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ >K+ and HCO3− > SO42− > Cl− for cations and anions, respectively. Ca-HCO3 is the main hydrochemical type. Water-rock interactions include silicate weathering, carbonate dissolution, halite dissolution and sulfate dissolution. Based on EC value, the majority of the samples are permissible for irrigation, whereas only 12% of the samples were found good for irrigation. The RSC, SAR, and %Na, combined with Wilcox diagram and USSL diagram, demonstrate that the groundwater samples are permissible for irrigation purpose.

“…A large and growing body of literature has investigated the surface water and groundwater interaction using hydrogeology and hydrochemical assessment. Piper, Gibbs, and Chadha diagrams have been reported as robust tools for the hydrogeochemical evaluation since the former can classify the groundwater and the latter estimates the origin of ions [22][23][24].…”

Background: The physicochemical composition of groundwater is affected by the quantity and quality of surrounding aquifers which are in turn recharging from adjacent river waters. Methods: In the present study, 20 surface and 16 groundwater samples were collected in pre- and post-monsoon season from the Jajrood River basin, Tehran, Iran. The samples were analyzed for 18 physicochemical water quality characteristics to assess the river and groundwater qualities. Hydrogeochemical analyses of groundwater samples were also performed to determine the Water Quality Index (WQI) for drinking and evaluate factors governing the water quality characteristic in the study area. Accordingly, the Piper diagram and Gibbs and Chadha plots were drawn to assess seasonal variations in hydrochemical facies and processes in the basin. Subsurface soil samples were also examined with respect to the structure, elemental composition, and multi-elemental trace analysis. Results: Results showed the abundance of major ions in the order of Ca+2 >Na+>Mg+2>K+ for cations and HCO3- >SO42- >Cl- >NO3- >F- for anions. In general, all drinking groundwater samples met WHO permissible limits except for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and HCO3-. Moreover, the water is categorized as Ca-Mg-HCO3 type. Subsurface soil analyses demonstrated quartz and calcium carbonate as the main phases of soil structure, suggesting the enrichment of groundwater with temporary hardness. Conclusion: Overall, the groundwater quality was suitable for drinking and agricultural activities.

“…The estimated discharge of tubewell is about 10 to 30 m 2 /h at a drawdown of 10-15 m(CGWB, 2013). Hydrogeologic sections across the Imphal valley area reveal that sediment deposition is dominated by clay, gravel, and soft soil(Kshetrimayum & Laishram, 2020). The main aquifer horizons are composed of gravels and soft soils and occur as isolated patches(Kshetrimayum & Laishram, 2020).…”

Groundwater samples collected from three flow paths (the western, central, and eastern flows) in the shallow aquifers of the Imphal valley of north-east India were examined to study the variation in hydrochemical and rare earth element (REE) characteristics along these flow paths. Each flow path covers a length of around 45 km towards the down gradient. In the western flow, the hydrochemical facies evolved from Na-Cl-Ca to Ca-Na-Mg-Cl-HCO 3 ; in the central flow, it varies from Ca-Mg-Na-Cl to Na-Ca-Cl-HCO 3 and in the eastern flow, it changes from Na-Cl to Ca-Mg-HCO 3 indicating the evolution of saline water type in the piedmont zone to fresh water type towards the discharge zones around the Loktak Lake. The REE concentration varies along the flow path as the total light REE (LREE) is more enriched than total heavy REE (HREE) in the western and central flows, while LREE is less than HREE in the eastern flow. North American Shale Composite (NASC)-normalized REE patterns in these flow types show significant convex-up NASC-normalized patterns with depleted LREEs. The redox condition in the flow paths is controlled by redoxsensitive elements such as Eh, pH, Fe, Mn, U, Er, Gd, and Nd which vary relatively along with these flows. REE fractionation depicted by (Er/Nd) SN ratios are high around the upgradient and decrease along the down gradient towards Loktak Lake.The isotopic constituents (δ 18 O and δD) exhibit fluctuations in their ratios along the groundwater flow paths. The residual hill and piedmont zones are characterized by depleted isotopic composition while the alluvial and flood plains show enriched isotopic composition. Thus, the present study elucidates the behavioural change in major hydrochemical parameters including REE and isotopic constituents, along with the groundwater flow, which will provide a holistic view in understanding the evolution of groundwater in terms of its quality, quantity, and origin in the study area.
