introduction suitability of groundwater for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes depends upon its quality. changes in groundwater quality are due to variation in climatic conditions, residence time of water with aquifer materials and inputs from soil during percolation of water. multivariate statistical methods are one of the common and important methods for hydro geochemistry study. sa...

Abstract. While interactions between groundwater and lake-water influence water chemistry, balance, aquatic organisms, biochemical cycles contamination levels, they remain a poorly studied component of lake hydrology. Identifying the controls at landscape level classifying lakes into categories based on their degree interaction with can provide insights lake's sensitivity vulnerability to envir...

Groundwaters may act as sinks or sources of organic and inorganic solutes, depending on the relative magnitude of biochemical mobilizing processes and groundwater-surface water exchanges. The objective of this study was to link the lithological and hydrogeological gradients to the aquatic microbial community structure in the transition from aquifer recharge (volcanic formations) to discharge ar...

Groundwater is often the main or only source of fresh water supply in arid to semi-arid rural areas owing decreasing rainfall patterns, reduced availability surface and socioeconomic activities. It important understand hydro-geochemical processes influencing groundwater quality for improved management sustainability resources improve livelihoods.
