“…The demand for good quality surface and groundwater for irrigation is on the increase in different parts of the world, and as a result it is important to consider its requirements with regards to water quality (Anudu et al, 2011). Some of the important requirements in relation to plant include Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) and Salinity Hazard.…”

A hydrogeochemical study of groundwater was carried out in Kurgwi and Environs. The aim of the study was to determine the chemical composition of the various water sources in the area and their suitability for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. Forty (40) water samples from shallow (hand-dug) wells were collected and analysed. Major cations and trace elements were analysed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer and the anions and bicarbonate were determined by double VV-visible spectrophotometer (Hitachi model 2000).and titration methods respectively. Results of laboratory analysis and plots on Piper Trillinear diagrams show the dominant water type in the area to be Ca-Na-HCO 3 water. Physico-chemical parameters of waters in the areas show most concentrations are within WHO permissible limits for drinking. However, calcium, potassium, TDS, total hardness and electrical conductivity are above the WHO upper limits in few locations and so are aluminium, iron, and manganese. Geogenic sources as well as minor anthropogenic activities have been observed to be the major control on the composition of groundwater in the area. Groundwater in the area is generally not very suitable for domestic purpose such as laundry, but is suitable for livestock and irrigation purposes.

“…Menggunakan metode ini kedalaman, ketebalan tiap lapisan, dan hasil kapasitas air tanah dengan mudah dapat disimpulkan [4]. Selain itu metode ini mampu menentukan perbedaan yang signifikan di dalam parameter geolistrik dari top soil (tanah penutup) dengan material lain, daerah yang retak atau patahan, dan batuan bawah tanah [5]. Metode ini juga dapat menaksirkan ketebalan permukaan tanah dengan baik serta daerah patahan dengan teliti [6].…”

IntisariTelah dilakukan pemetaan potensi air tanah dalam menunjang pengembangan data hidrogeologi di kabupaten Jombang, Jawa Timur dengan menggunakan metode geolistrik resistivitas sounding. Akuisisi data resistivitas menggunakan konfigurasi elektroda Schulmberger. Pengolahan data dan interpretasi data menggunakan software Progress Version 3 dan pemetaannya menggunakan software Surfer. Hasil pengolahan bahwa lapisan batuan keempat kecamatan tersebut tersusun lempung dengan nilai resistivitas 6 -10 Ωm, lempung pasiran 11 -19 Ωm, pasir dan pasir lempungan 20 -90 Ωm, serta pasir kerakalan 90 -130 Ωm. Akuifer (lapisan pembawa air) diduga berada pada lapisan penyusun pasir dan pasir lempungan. Hasil pemetaan menunjukkan daerah yang mempunyai sumber potensi air tanah besar terdapat kecamatan Mojowarno. Daerah yang berpotensi sumber air tanah sedang di kecamatan Bareng dan Mojowarno. ABSTRACTHave done mapping of groundwater potential in supporting the development of data hydrogeology in Jombang, East Java using geoelectric resistivity soundings. Resistivity data acquisition using Schulmberger electrode configuration. Data processing and interpretation of data using Progress Version 3 software and mapping using Surfer software. The results of processing the four districts that rock layers are composed of clay with a value of resistivity 6-10 Ωm, sandy loam 11-19 Ωm, sand and sand lempungan 20-90 Ωm, and sand kerakalan 90-130 Ωm. Aquifer is believed to be the constituent layers of sand and sand lempungan. The result shows mapping shows areas that have a large potential source of ground water contained in the district Mojowarno. Potential areas of medium groundwater resources in the district Bareng and Mojowarno.

“…In the past water supply managers were concerned about the quantity of water supply with no reference to their quality, but due to public health hazard in the recent time quality of water has been greatly considered. Hydrogeochemistry has been used extensively to solve the pressing current and future issues of water scarcity and quality deterioration (Mingming et al 2011, Anudu et al 2011, Amar and Abderrahmane, 2010, Olarewaju et al 1997, Elueze et al, 2004. The purpose of the study was to assess hydrogeochemistry and bacteriological content of the surface water and groundwater in the study area and use it to determine their potability.…”

Ikare Akoko is underlain by the Pre -Cambrian Basement Complex rocks of Southwestern Nigeria and is about 6 kilometers away from Akungba Akoko that host Adekunle Ajasin University. The present study is to assess the quality of natural water for drinking and domestic purposes; perhaps they are susceptible to pollution due to increasing population. Fifteen water samples were collected from both surface water and groundwater during the onset of the dry season for physico -chemical and bacteriological analysis at the Central Research laboratory of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba -Akoko. The results indicate low pH, low total dissolved solids and low suspended solids. The concentration of total iron, sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulphate, bicarbonate and chloride are within the limit of WHO drinking water standard. Lead in most of the samples was below the detection limit but not higher than 0.1mg/L and also within the WHO limit of 0.3 mg/L. The bacteriological constituents of the water samples range between 15 and 30 cfu/ ml indicating bacterial contamination and sources may be due to water contact with cesspits or septic tanks. Therefore water in the study area requires microbial disinfection to upgrade its quality for drinking purposes. Piper's diagram revealed that the hydrogeochemical evolution of water samples in this study area is Ca -HCO3 -, this water have some salinity. Gibb's diagram showed that the concentration of the dissolved chemical constituents were as a result of dissolution of host rock minerals due to water -rock interaction.
