“…This indicates dispersion from natural and/or anthropogenic sources. It is believed that the main origins of heavy metals in surface water and groundwater are manure (derived from fodder and mineral supplements), inorganic fertilisers (which may come from different raw materials) (De Meeûs et al, 2002;Nziguheba & Smolders, 2008), aerial deposition of particles emitted by different industrial activities (Manzoor et al, 2006) and vehicle exhaust (Tam et al, 1987). In general, agriculture sources are important for the total loads to surface water and groundwater for copper, lead and zinc.…”

The present paper investigates hydrochemical processes and water quality in the Mornag aquifer in NE Tunisia. Groundwater samples were collected during a field campaign, and were analysed for major and trace elements. The collected waters have a chemical facies rich in Ca 2+, Na + and Cl -. Piper diagram shows a progressive increase in chloride ions along with increasing salinity. Saturation indexes calculated by using PHREEQC (USGS) show that the Mornag waters are slightly saturated with respect to carbonates (calcite and dolomite), while undersaturated with respect to gypsum, halite and other evaporitic minerals. The current composition of waters takes place via dissolution of halite and Ca-sulfates, where the increase in calcium is partially balanced by possible calcite precipitation. The relevant recorded pollutant is nitrate, which was likely dispersed from agricultural soils, while heavy metals were generally far below values of pollution thresholds, indicating no influence by mining activity.

“…Mingorance et al (2007) and Mtanga and Machiwa (2007) used EF (relative abundance of a chemical element in soil compared to the relative abundance in a local control site). Manzoor et al (2006), Franco-Uría et al (2009) andDragovic et al (2008) used multivariate analyses. In this study, Cu and Pb, MF and EF in SAL were used to predict their uptake by spinach and carrots.…”

This study investigated copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) enrichment factor (EF) and mobility factor (MF) as possible indicators of their uptake by spinach (Spinaceae oleraceae) and carrots (Daucus carota) grown on a sludge-amended luvisol (SAL). Sewage sludge was applied to luvisol at different rates and spinach and carrots planted. Enrichment of Cu and Pb in SAL was determined, and values regressed with those of Cu and Pb concentrations in spinach and carrots. Concentration of Cu and Pb in vegetables was calculated using the regression model obtained, and calculated values compared with actual values. Pb MF were higher than Cu MF but Cu and Pb EF soil values were < 3.0, indicating minor enrichment from sludge addition. EF had 10% reliability in predicting Cu and Pb uptake in vegetables. MF was more than 70% reliable in predicting carrot Cu uptake and spinach Pb uptake. EF and MF are not effective as predictors of heavy metal uptake by vegetables. The role of other soil components including root exudates and by-products from microbial activities should also be investigated.

“…During the path of water-cycle, while seeps from the porous soil, it dissolves salts, gases, metals, organic compounds, minerals, nitrates and sulphates (Mirecki and Parks, 1994;Manzoor et al, 2006;Manning, 1997). Thus, groundwater quality is governed by contamination activities (agricultural/industrial/mining), natural as well as anthropogenic factors, nature of the rocks (or geological formation), climatic factor (specially rainfall, thereby recharge rate), dissolved salts and disposal system, etc.…”

On the basis of groundwater chemistry, an evaluation of groundwater for domestic and irrigation purposes was carried out for different regions of Bangladesh. Using the chemical compositions and different quality parameters, irrigation quality was assed using 6 different techniques: USDA method, FAO guidelines, Water-Types approach, Combined approach proposed by Al-Bassam et al. (2003), Ali (2010), and GOB (2007) guidelines. Drinking quality was judged by WHO (2011) provisional guidelines and GOB guidelines. Concentrations of major cations and anions of most groundwater samples were within allowable limit. Except one location (i.e. Barisal), the water for irrigation purpose are suitable to 19 marginally suitable considering salinity and sodicity. For drinking purpose, all except 2 locations (i.e. 20 Sunamgonj and Barisal, where iron is a concern) are found suitable. At these locations, other aquifer layer 21 with low Fe can be searched for safer Fe level. Alternatively, Fe removal system can be assembled for 22 collecting drinking water.Keywords: Groundwater, Hydrochemistry, Quality parameters, Integrated quality assessment, Bangladesh
