Background The presence of nitrate is one of the factors limiting the quality of groundwater resources, particularly in arid and semi-arid climates. Therefore, the knowledge about the distribution of nitrate in groundwater and its source has an effective role in protecting health. The study aimed to optimize an interpolation method to predict the nitrate concentration and assessment of aquifer ...

introduction water is the most important parameter in the development of human societies. one of the pillars in the development of water resources is the investigation of environmental conditions and environmental compatibility of the project. identification of the areas vulnerable to pollution can play a major role in development strategies. in most areas of iran, located in the arid and semi-...

the presence of heavy metals anomalies in groundwater resource and their effect on human health through both drinking water and agricultural activities is a serious worldwide. because of with the distribution of these elements in groundwater of malikan plain, the information does not exist, this study were performed to evaluate heavy metals, especially arsenic in groundwater and to determining ...

nitrate contamination is one of the main risks for groundwater in agricultural areas. theevaluation of the effect of agricultural practices on groundwater nitrate concentration, especially in highlysensitive areas, is crucial for a correct land planning, and a good agronomic intervention scheduling. aim of this paper is to map the probability to exceed nitrate regulatory threshold applying a no...

Existence of heavy minerals in waters in some regions causes serious environmental pollution and affects the soil and water resources quality. Soil and waters sensitive to pollutants were investigated in this research, based on the degree of sensitivity of their parameters. The samples obtained from industrial and agricultural areas for identifying water tables at higher risk and display region...
