groundwater is one of the most important resources of water supply for various uses in many regions all over the globe including iran. different contaminants severely affect these resources and might render groundwater unsuitable for consumption. groundwater contamination by nitrate is a well known globally growing problem due to the population growth and increase of demand for food supplies. t...

Flooding’s impact on shallow groundwater is not well investigated. In this study, we analyzed changes in the depth and quality of a regional shallow aquifer in the 10.9 × 104 km2 Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China, following a large flood in the summer of 2013. Pre(2008–2012) and post-flood records on groundwater table depth and groundwater chemistry were gathered from 20 wells across the region. ...

In Algeria the plain of Mitidja, famous for fertilization its soil, on overuse, is exposed to pollution due particularly fertilizers and other phytosanitary. The spatio-temporal distribution concentrations major ions, namely nitrates, would explain transfer circulation mechanisms these elements within groundwater .The disparity in nitrate levels shows exposure Mitidja aquifer over entire extent...

Groundwater contamination is a serious problem facing the countries. Because groundwater is vulnerable to contamination from a variety of sources, and, once contaminated, it is very difficult to restore to its original quality. The main objective of this study was evaluation of groundwater quality in Shahrekord aquifer and finding the source of the groundwater contamination. Some of the chemica...

Water quality conditions have been assessed in the Río Vélez coastal aquifer (Andalusia, South Spain: an area of important agricultural and touristic development). This shallow fluvio-deltaic aquifer consists of coarse detrital deposits, of Quaternary age, that extend over about 20 km, being subdivided in two sectors –fluvial and deltaicby a substratum elevation. The deltaic sector is highly vu...

Groundwater nitrate contamination in the Central Valley (CV) aquifer of California is a ubiquitous groundwater problem found in various parts of the valley. Heavy irrigation and application of fertilizer over the last several decades have caused groundwater nitrate contamination in several domestic, public and monitoring wells in the CV above EPA’s Maximum Contamination level of 10 mg/L. Source...

Groundwater resources in Arsanjan plain provide water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption. Continued agricultural development in this area needs to additional groundwater resources for, particularly during of drought periods, and effects on the quantity and quality of ground water available. The purpose of this study is to evaluate water level changes in the aquifer of Arsanjan pla...
