The study area of Marand city is 45 ° 46 'east longitude and 38 ° 26' north latitude and is located in the northwest of East Azarbaijan province and 60 km northwest of Tabriz province. Unfortunately, in recent years, the development of countries, including Iran, has led to more exploitation and improper use of groundwater resources, which reduces these resources and does not control the amount ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the spatial changes of groundwater nitrate concentrations by using geostatistical methods based on data from 119 groundwater wells. Geostatistical methods have been used widely as a convenient tool to make decision on the management of behavior of hydrochemical parameters in groundwater. To evaluate the spatial changes nitrate concentrations in groundwat...

abstract background and purpose:in many regions especially in the north of iran groundwater is the most important resource for drinking supply. a present study was carried out in the tajan plain in northern iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of groundwater. materials and methods:in order to constructing the groundwater quality index (gwqi) 3 main levels were composed select...

Contamination of groundwater has become a major concern in recent years. Since testing of water quality of all domestic and irrigation wells within large watersheds is not economically feasible, one frequently used monitoring strategy is to develop contamination potential maps of groundwater, and then prioritize those wells located in the potentially highly contaminated areas for testing of con...
