The groundwater quality was assessed nearby places of Nagalkeni, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The selected physico-chemical parameters were pH, EC, TDS, total hardness (TH), anions like Ca, Mg, Na and K, and cations like SO4, NO3, Cl2, HCO3, and CO3, and Cr(VI). In order to suit the groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes, compared the value of selected parameters with the value of sele...

The activity concentration for various radionuclides produced in the soil around the collimation section of the Beam Delivery System for the Next Linear Collider is calculated using the FLUKA Monte Carlo code. Different methods are used to calculate the activity concentration of H, Na and Be in soil. The activity concentration of H and Na in groundwater are also calculated and compared with the...

Received: 22 December 2004 Accepted: 8 March 2005 Published online: 17 June 2005 Springer-Verlag 2005 Abstract Coastal areas of Hong Kong Island are one of the most extensively urbanized areas in the world. Groundwater samples in natural slopes and developed spaces in the regions centered by the MidLevels area, Hong Kong Island, were collected and analyzed to investigate the natural and anthrop...

Differences in the impact of irrigation with freshwater versus wastewater on the underlying shallow groundwater quality were investigated in the Coastal Aquifer of Israel. Seven research boreholes were drilled to the top-most 3–5 m of the saturated zone (the water table region-WTR) in the agricultural fields. The unsaturated zone and the WTR below the irrigated fields consist mainly of clayey s...

Determination of groundwater chemistry in the Strumica valley was essential given its widespread use for irrigation in the agricultural industry. 224 samples were collected form boreholes forming the dataset for the study. The groundwater chemical composition was examined for selected analytes: As, Sr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ba, Pb, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, Li, Cr, Fe, U, CaCO3, Cl-, NO3, NH4, SO4 a...

Groundwater resource is vital for industrial, drinking and irrigation purposes in the Dagujia river basin, China. The objective of this work was to comprehensively assess hydrochemical characteristics evolution processes Quaternary aquifer (QA) bedrock (BA) basin using statistical methods plots. In total, 56 groundwater samples were collected from QA (34 samples) BA (22 samples). addition, comb...
