This study was carried out in the Middle Governorate of Gaza Strip, Palestine. The coastal aquifer is the main source of water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes in the study area. During the last three decades the aquifer has deteriorated to a high degree in the quality and quantity due to the over-pumping and the encroachment of seawater.  Hydrogeochemical analysis for ground...

Groundwater is an essential and vital component of our life support system. The groundwater resources are being utilized for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes. There is growing concern on deterioration of groundwater quality due to geogenic and anthropogenic activities. Groundwater, being a fragile must be carefully managed to maintain its purity within standard limits. So, quality a...

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...

this paper presents results of hydro-chemical processes controlling groundwater chemical composition, using an integrated application of hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis of a major ion data set of groundwater from mighan playa aquifer. cluster analysis classified samples into four clusters(a, b, c and d) according to their dominant chemical composition: cluster a (dominant comp...

to find the nutritional condition of plants as related to the tatus of soil nutrients, also for an evaluation of soil solution toxicity and nutrition of plants in salt affected soils, it is preferred to study the activity of these elements rather than their concentrations. to calculate the ionic strength of a solution the concentrations of all cations and anions are needed which is very time co...

batiaghata upazila, khulna district in south-west coastal region of bangladesh is the mostly saline affected area, where agriculture activities are mainly dependent on rainfall. 23 water samples from surface water and shallow tube well (stw) were collected in the monsoon season and analyzed for physico-chemical properties to classify them according to salinity hazard. electrical conductivity (e...

To better understand the potential toxicity of Se, it is necessary to know the concentration of different Se ionic species (e.g., Se032-and Se042-). The hydride generation atomic absorption spectrophotometry (HGAAS) method of Se analysis cannot separate Se into individual ionic species. Ion chromatography (IC) can determine Se032-and Se042-concentrations simultaneously; however, common anions, ...
