“…Similarly, among the post-monsoon samples, 50% lie in C1-S1 category and 20% lie in C2-S1 category. C1-S1 category represents the low salinity and low sodium hazard, while C2-S1 category represents the medium salinity and low sodium hazard [28,35]. Thus, this analysis corroborates that the groundwater is fit for irrigation purposes.…”

Deterioration of surface water quality in various parts of India due to increasing urbanization has led to the extensive usage of groundwater for various domestic and irrigation needs, thereby raising concerns over its quality. However, there are very few studies focussing over the issue of groundwater quality in North-Eastern region of India. In order to make an assessment of the quality of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes, this study was carried out in Shillong—the Capital City of Meghalaya State in North-East India during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons of 2018. Standard sampling and analytical procedures were followed for groundwater quality assessment. Minimal variation was observed in the water quality of pre- and post-monsoon seasons. However, the study found that groundwater samples are having acidic pH and presence of nitrate is also reported. Some of the samples also showed the presence of mercury, nickel, and cadmium. The presence of these contaminants could be attributed to the industrial activities in the state. Overall, the groundwater quality was found suitable for drinking and irrigation purposes after conventional treatment. Hydrochemical studies further inferred that groundwater properties in the region are influenced by the rock weathering along with the atmospheric precipitation.

“…e rich and valuable mineral water resources in the study area have not been well developed, utilized, and protected. erefore, the distribution characteristics, sources, migration, and enrichment trends and other hydrochemical characteristics of strontium in the study area should be analyzed [4,5]. It can provide scientific basis for the development and protection of natural mineral water resources and give full play to the value of mineral water [6,7].…”

Strontium is a kind of trace element. Groundwater containing strontium is called mineral water when its content reaches a level that is beneficial for human physiology. Some groundwater resources in Shijiazhuang are rich in strontium. In this study, groundwater samples collected from 103 sites were studied for the hydrochemical characteristics of strontium and its formation mechanism in the groundwater system in Shijiazhuang City. The methods of source provenance analysis, factor correlation analysis, and runoff condition analysis were carried out in the study. The results showed that the content of strontium in eastern Shijiazhuang is higher than 0.229 mg/L, with a maximum content of 1.942 mg/L. The source of strontium is the dissolution of strontium-containing minerals in carbonate rock, sheet hemp rock, clastic rock, and granite in the Taihang Mountain area of the Hutuo River Basin. Strontium is positively correlated with total dissolved solids, bicarbonate, calcium magnesium, and free carbon dioxide. The erosion ability of groundwater strengthens the dissolution of strontium, and the geochemical action is mainly due to the dissolution. The enrichment and distribution of strontium are related to the conditions of groundwater runoff. Areas with good runoff conditions and strong mining are low in strontium, while areas with poor runoff conditions have high strontium content.

“…Geochemical modeling is a feasible way to further constrain the status of minerals dissolution and precipitation in the groundwater system [19]. Afterwards, groundwater quality can be assessed using mathematical and geographic information system (GIS)-based spatial analysis, based on hydrogeochemical compositions of groundwater [20][21][22]. As shown above, numerous analytical methods have been employed for clarifying the hydrogeochemical process and quality evaluation of groundwater.…”

Hydrogeochemical processes and quality assessment for shallow groundwater are pivotal issues to be solved in many regions over the world due to the easy access of shallow groundwater. In this study, eighty-six water samples were collected from shallow aquifers of Chongqing, China, during July–September 2019. Multivariate statistical techniques, major ion ratios, and geochemical modeling were integrated to investigate hydrogeochemical characteristics and controlling factors. Afterwards, groundwater quality in spatial was classified by entropy-weighted water quality index and geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis. Groundwater samples were alkaline and possessed high total dissolved solids (TDS) values. Two-group samples were distinguished as mix cations-HCO3-SO4 (group 1) and Ca-Mg-SO4 (group 2) facies. Hydrogeochemical compositions of group 1 samples were dominated by silicate dissolution and ion exchange, while sulfate and calcite dissolution were the main factors influencing the hydrogeochemical characteristics of group 2. The overall quality of groundwater samples varied greatly from excellent quality to extremely poor quality. Group 1 samples were found with excellent and good quality and suitable for drinking purposes. Group 2 samples were all unsuitable for direct drinking purposes as the quality varied from medium to extremely poor, but were spatially limited. Groundwaters with relatively poor quality were due to dissolution of sulfate that were locally enriched in the aquifers. The new findings of this study are expected to provide the reference for future management and sustainable exploitation of groundwater in Chongqing.
