“…However, in recent years, groundwater has been experiencing growing pollution threats contributing to water scarcity and adverse health effects in various countries and arid/semi-arid regions of the world [2,3]. Anthropogenic activities (urbanization, industrial development, agricultural activities, mining exploitation) pose the main threat to groundwater, while geogenic sources represent minor threats [4][5][6]. According to WHO [7], 2 billion people use or consume water polluted with fecal coliforms, nitrates and/or toxic metals.…”

Spring water is important for human consumption, domestic use, agricultural activities, and ecotourism in the Buenavista de Cuéllar Aquifer (ABC), southern Mexico. The objective of this research was to assess the health risk from fecal coliforms, as well as the non-carcinogenic risk to human health for different age groups, by studying the oral and dermal routes. The analysis of the cartography of high-priority springs (the result of Multicriteria Evaluation (MCE)), access routes, and knowledge of the areas with high social insecurity risk enabled the selection of 20 springs to be sampled. In situ parameters were measured, major ions, fecal coliforms, and Potentially Toxic Elements (PTE). The non-carcinogenic health risk results indicated a higher risk by the oral route in children (average Hazard index (HI) value of 0.6371) and a higher risk by the dermal route in adults (average HI value of 1.2378). The highest dermal risks are in the south-southeast of the study area. On the other hand, the assessment of health risks due to fecal coliforms resulted in a medium risk for the dry season and a high risk for the rainy season. The results of this research will serve as a key reference for the management and protection of springs in order to preserve human health.

“…Remy R. [20] used groundwater and surface water samples collected in different seasons to explain the hydrogeochemical process of Kattumannarkoil Taluk. Aher S. et al [21] explored the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the Pravara River Basin using groundwater samples collected on the cross-section of the basin. Accurate assessment of groundwater hydrogeochemical characteristics and groundwater quality is helpful and necessary for sustainable groundwater protection and management [22,23].…”

With the implementation of the policy of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the Guohe River Basin, which is close to the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin, is also an important part of future development. Mathematical statistics, the Piper diagram, ion proportion coefficient method, Gibbs diagram and reverse hydrogeochemical simulation are used to analyze the chemical characteristics and evolution of groundwater in the Guohe River Basin (Henan Section). The dominant ions in the study area are HCO3− and Na+, and the three-layer aquifer has obvious zoning characteristics. The results show that the chemical types of shallow groundwater in this area are HCO3−Na • Mg • Ca, intermediate HCO3-Na and deep HCO3−Na. Using the ion proportion coefficient method, it is found that Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ in the groundwater aquifer undergo cation exchange in the aquifer. According to the reverse hydrogeochemical simulation, gypsum in the three aquifers is in a dissolved state, carbonate and sulfide ores in the shallow layer are dissolved, dolomite and halite in the intermediate layer are dissolved, calcite and sulfide ores are precipitated and carbonate, halite and sulfide ores in the deep layer are precipitated; the hydrogeochemical evolution model is established to find that Ca2+ in groundwater displaces Na+ in the aqueous medium. This research can provide a scientific basis for the rational development and utilization of groundwater and ecological protection in the Yellow River Basin.
