Hydro-geochemical Investigation and Quality Assessment of Groundwater for Drinking and Agricultural Use in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, India

Assessment of irrigational indices in surface water and shallow groundwater in the alluvial plain of Barak Valley, Assam, Northeast India

“…In today's world, as the stress imposed on natural resources increases owing to rapid industrialization, population growth and conservation are one of the major challenges for mankind. Both surface water and groundwater are the most vital resources for millions of people for both drinking and irrigation uses (Delgado et al, 2010;Ghalib, 2017;Mohammadi, Yousefi, Yaseri, Jalilzadeh, & Mahvi, 2017;Raju, Chaudhary, Nazneen, Singh, & Goyal, 2015;Yousefi, Ghoochani, & Mahvi, 2018). Furthermore, an impulsive extraction of the groundwater resources and consecutive droughts in recent years has also led to accelerating the depletion of the water table and deterioration of quality (Hosseinifard & Aminiyan, 2015;Zahedi, Azarnivand, & Chitsaz, 2017).…”
