“…Water quality index has been regarded as an effective tool for monitoring water quality as it provides an overview of the water quality as a summarized composite effect of each parameter to evaluate fitness for various uses (Elemile et al 2022). It defines water quality by a single value, thereby avoiding water quality evaluations involving multiple parameters (Yıldız & Karakus2 020).…”

Mountain streams/springs are the primary irrigation water resource in Bhutan Himalaya, besides supporting drinking and other domestic needs. Successful crop production implies an adequate supply of high-quality irrigation water, among other factors. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the suitability of spring-fed streamwater for irrigation use and evaluate hydrogeochemical processes that regulate streamwater chemistry at the Manthong village in Kanglung, Bhutan. The water samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, EC, turbidity, TDS and major ions. Piper and Durov diagrams indicated that most samples are of the intermediate type and simple dissolution or linear mixing is the primary hydrochemical process regulating streamwater chemistry. All the measured physicochemical parameters were within the acceptable thresholds of the FAO guidelines recommended for agriculture use. Analytical results of the streamwater water quality indices, including EC, %Na%, RSBC, SAR, KR and PI, revealed its suitability for irrigation use except for MH. The IWQI results confirmed that the WS-1 has no restriction as irrigation water; however, WS-2 falls under the high restriction category. The findings of this study will serve as the baseline data and guide irrigation water management and sustainable irrigation development in the region.

“…Furthermore, the PIG serves as an efficient method for assessing groundwater suitability in any given area and conveying comprehensive water quality information [26]. Past research endeavors have evaluated water quality for irrigation purposes by examining key parameters, including the Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), Residual Sodium Bicarbonate (RSB), Sodium Percentage (Na%), Permeability Index (PI), Corrosivity Index, Magnesium Hazard (MH), Puri's Salt Index (PSI), Potential Salinity (PS), and Kelly's Ratio (KR) [19,[27][28][29][30].…”

Groundwater, an invaluable resource crucial for irrigation and drinking purposes, significantly impacts human health and societal advancement. This study aims to evaluate the groundwater quality in the Mnasra region of the Gharb Plain, employing a comprehensive analysis of thirty samples collected from various locations, based on thirty-three physicochemical parameters. Utilizing tools like the Pollution Index of Groundwater (PIG), Nitrate Pollution Index (NPI), Water Quality Index (WQI), Irrigation Water Quality Index (IWQI), as well as Multivariate Statistical Approaches (MSA), and the Geographic Information System (GIS), this research identifies the sources of groundwater pollution. The results revealed Ca2+ dominance among cations and Cl− as the primary anion. The Piper and Gibbs diagrams illustrated the prevalent Ca2+-Cl− water type and the significance of water–rock interactions, respectively. The PIG values indicated that 86.66% of samples exhibited “Insignificant pollution”. NPI showed notable nitrate pollution (1.48 to 7.06), with 83.33% of samples rated “Good” for drinking based on the WQI. The IWQI revealed that 80% of samples were classified as “Excellent” and 16.66% as “Good”. Spatial analysis identified the eastern and southern sections as highly contaminated due to agricultural activities. These findings provide valuable insights for decision-makers to manage groundwater resources and promote sustainable water management in the Gharb region.

“…Nevertheless, it can still be impacted by various factors, including overexploitation, elevated salinity, reduced osmolality, and exposure to high concentrations of harmful ions [5][6][7][8]. These factors cause groundwater degradation in various countries, including China [9], Tunisia [10], and Nigeria [11], resulting in adverse impacts on both the surroundings and the well-being of humans.…”

As one of the largest dragon fruit areas and many tourism projects, the southern coastal area of Phan Thiet (including three communes: Tien Thanh, Thuan Quy, and Tan Thanh) has been a bright spot in the economy of Binh Thuan. Economic development puts pressure on water resources, especially groundwater resources, the main supply for irrigation and domestic water in the region. In this research, 19 groundwater samples from the Holocene and Pleistocene aquifers were collected in February 2023 and analyzed for the concentration of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, NH4 +, NO3 −, PO4 3-, Cl−, HCO3 –, and SO4 2-, thereby evaluating groundwater geochemistry, hydro-geochemical processes, and the suitability for irrigation purposes. The rank of cations in the aquifers of the region is Na+ > Ca2+ ∼ Mg2+, and Ca2+ ∼ Mg2+ > Na+ respectively. The concentrations of major anions in the study area are in order Cl− > HCO3 − > SO4 2- respectively. The predominant processes in the aquifer involve the interplay between rock and water as well as anthropogenic activity. The saturation indices of dolomite, gypsum, and halite are under-saturated in all collecting sample sites. According to the quality evaluation for irrigation, 14 of the 19 samples with % sodium levels less than 60 are suitable, while the others should be treated before use. The study area also indicated nitrate pollution (4/19 groundwater samples exceeding 15 mgN L−1 of the Nitrate limited for groundwater, National technical regulation on underground water quality). It is recommended that local authorities have strategies to supply water for different purposes, control pollution sources, and treat water waste to protect these aquifers.
