“…Figure 7 presents this diagram, which shows Ca 2+ as the dominant cation, while the dominant anion is HCO3 − , confirming the information obtained in the diagrams above. The evaporation rate, the chemical composition of the rock, and the rainwater generally control the chemistry of the groundwater [33]. The Gibbs diagram shows the mechanisms that control the chemistry of groundwater from the relationship of chemical components with their respective lithologies in the aquifer [34], representing the domain of precipitation, of evaporation and the water-rock interaction [35].…”

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.

“…The correlation coefficient uses the Spearman method to determine the relationship between several hydrochemical parameters [24]. The correlation values (r) > 0.7 indicating strong correlation, between 0.5-0.7 indicating moderate correlation, and < 0.3 indicating weak correlation [24]. The closeness of the relationship between variables was analyzed using the Spearman method processed with Minitab.19 software.…”

Groundwater Recharge Area Based on Hydrochemical and Environmental Isotopes Analysis in the South Bandung Volcanic Area

The determination of recharge areas needs to support the groundwater conservation in the southern volcanic Bandung area. This study aims to determine the recharge area based on environmental isotopes and hydrochemical. A sampling of 26 groundwater was carried out at springs, dug wells, and drilling wells. The variation in groundwater chemistry principally is controlled by a combination of ion exchange, silicate weathering, calcite, and dolomite dissolution of minerals. The hydrochemical facies were CaCl, CaMgCl, CaMgHCO3, CaHCO3, and NaKHCO3. The CaHCO3 facies describe moderate groundwater flows. The NaKHCO3 facies shows the mixing of shallow and deep groundwater. The recharge area in the central, proximal, and medial facies zone consists of 3 groups. Group I is considered water originating from local rainwater infiltration; Group II is considered the infiltration elevation which ranges from 980–1230 m asl; Group III estimated to be derived from the recharge elevation between 750–970 m asl, Group IV are more likely to show symptoms of evaporation or interaction with surface water. The discharge area is characterized by less active groundwater circulation, with dominant HCO3– and TDS value in the distal facies zone. Hydrochemical variation helped the identification of recharge areas in the volcanic facies.

“…Calcium and magnesium impart hardness to the rock and are found due to weathering processes which lead to dissolution of minerals from parent rock, i.e. basalts (Gaikwad et al 2020). Bicarbonates, on the other hand, are dominant due to weathering of carbonates and dissolution of silicate minerals.…”

Increase in demand for water for domestic, agricultural and industrial needs has led to overexploitation as well as contamination; hence, it is unremittingly important to monitor and maintain the health of waters. In view of this, a study was carried out wherein a total of 57 groundwater samples from Upper Bhima Basin of western India were collected and analysed for understanding the drinking and agricultural suitability with special reference to water quality index and potential health risks assessment. Analysed physicochemical parameters indicated that the groundwater quality is not suitable in most of the villages for drinking and agricultural purposes. However, pH, TDS, HCO3−, SO42−, Cl− and F− parameters were below the permissible limit; conversely, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, and NO3− contents have been found more than the Indian standards (BIS). The dissemination of ions in the qualitative analysis revealed the dominance order as Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+ and HCO3− > SO42−− > Cl− > NO3−. Using Piper’s diagram, the groundwater types were found to be majorly Ca2+–HCO3−, Ca2+–Na+–HCO3_ , Ca2+–Mg2+–Cl− and Ca2+–Cl− groups. From the Gibbs plot, it is observed that the samples fall between rock dominance and evaporation dominance zones. Based on irrigation indices such as permeability index, residual sodium carbonate, the groundwater is unsuitable for irrigation. In addition to that, water quality index values revealed that 49% of water samples are found unfit for drinking. Further, health risk assessment study carried out using United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) guidelines showed that children are at higher health risk than men and women in the study region.
