“…The existence of these metal ions during rock formation is a substantial cause of water hardness in lagoon water. Most common example is the deposition of limestone near the water bodies (Nadiri et al, 2022). Common forms of these ions are bicarbonates, chlorides, nitrates, and sulphates (Davis & Cornwell, 2008).…”

“…The lagoon environment endures significant pollution due to oil and grease by the effluents from petroleum-related disciplines such as transportation, industrial and municipal solid wastes, urban runoff, offshore effluents, and sediment erosion (Nadiri et al, 2022). The probable reasons for oil and grease contamination are unplanned infrastructure development thus causing hindrance to human benefits.…”

Lagoons are becoming sporadically utilised albeit they are equipped with high potential for the outsourcing of environmental and industrial benefits. It leads to the endangered pollution of lagoon water aquatic system. The prime reason is the lack of knowledge among stakeholders and researchers regarding the influential parameters in establishing the lagoon water quality. The optimal quality for lagoon water is critical for the longevity of aquatic ecosystem. This study focuses on using bibliographic references to find the most influential factors determining the water quality in lagoons for deriving a comprehensive long-term water quality monitoring plan to ensure the sustainability of the lagoon water ecosystem. The lagoon water quality was classified in this study into biological, physical, and chemical parameters and studied for their importance upon enhancing the water quality. Experiments were conducted on selected parameters using the water samples from the selected Sri Lankan lagoons with available facilities to observe the water quality. The overall findings on physiochemical and biological characteristics using the experiments temperature, turbidity, pH, salinity, DO, BOD, COD, phosphates, nitrates, ammonia content and faecal coliforms in water specimens suggest that the selected Sri Lankan lagoons are heavily polluted due to their distinctive variations from the allowable threshold limits specified in the literature sources. To increase such increased risks associated with lagoon water systems, a long-term monitoring strategy is recommended to be incorporated at lagoon waters in order to assure their sustainability.

“…In the recent years, extensive studies have been carried out on the distribution, hydrochemical characteristics of high-TDS and high-F − groundwater, health risk assessment and prediction using computer models and mathematical statistics [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. However, better understanding of the geospatial variations of hydrogeochemical components and associated processes determining groundwater quality is essential for achieving and sustaining usable water supplies.…”

The exposure of inhabitants to high fluoride and saline groundwater is the main health issue in Datong Basin, Northern China. This study aims to elucidate the spatial distribution and the mechanisms of high fluoride and salinity occurrence in the shallow sedimentary aquifers of the Datong Basin. Groundwater salinity and fluoride content, and their association with measured hydrochemical parameters, were conducted using multivariate statistical analyses. The analytical results revealed that the concentrations of fluoride and total dissolved solids (TDS) show dramatic variations within the study area. Around 41.4% of groundwater samples contained high-level fluoride concentration (F− > 1.5 mg/L), whereas 32.8% contained elevated-level TDS (TDS > 1000 mg/L). Both fluoride and TDS concentrations had elevated trends towards the central part of the basin. Shallow groundwater was seriously affected by evaporation and evapotranspiration, which can be the critical factors responsible for rather high TDS and F− concentrations in shallow aquifers. Water–rock reactions including silicate hydrolysis, dissolution–precipitation of carbonates and evaporates, adsorption, and ion exchange processes, as well as evapotranspiration, are the main governing factors for salinity and fluoride enrichment in groundwater. Solubility control of F-bearing and carbonate minerals is the dominant mechanism affecting F− levels. Prevailing conditions of alkaline pH, moderate TDS and Na+, high HCO3−, and lower Ca2+ content facilitate the enrichment of fluoride in the study area. Excessive evapotranspiration can be also the most influencing factor responsible for high fluoride and TDS content, due to the extended residence time of groundwater and the arid climate of the central part of the Datong Basin.
