Multidimensional Analysis of the Contamination Status, Corrosivity and Hydrogeochemistry of Groundwater from Parts of the Anambra Basin, Nigeria

J. C. Egbueri et al.

Summary: The study in southeastern Nigeria's Anambra basin reveals questionable drinking water quality due to pollution, corrosivity, and aggressive properties, potentially damaging metallic water storage and distribution facilities. The predominant water facies are Cl-SO4-Ca-Mg and Cl-SO4-Na-K. Analysis indicates natural, geogenic processes are more important than anthropogenic activities in shaping the groundwater chemistry.

Prediction modeling of potentially toxic elements' hydrogeopollution using an integrated Q-mode HCs and ANNs machine learning approach in SE Nigeria

Johnbosco C. Egbueri

Summary: Machine learning techniques were used to classify and predict water quality in Ojoto and its surroundings in Nigeria, demonstrating the effectiveness of artificial neural network models in forecasting potentially toxic anions and heavy metals concentrations. The results provide valuable information for monitoring and managing water resources, with potential for further modeling studies to validate and improve the findings.

Association of Physicochemical Characteristics, Aggregate Indices, Major Ions, and Trace Elements in Developing Groundwater Quality Index (GWQI) in Agricultural Area

Hazimah Haspi Harun et al.

Summary: The study aimed to propose a groundwater quality index (GWQI) as a single number representation of water quality, using multivariate analysis to select key parameters such as electrical conductivity, COD, magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, and chloride. The GWQI development is expected to benefit the public, practitioners, and industries by detecting and minimizing pollution through its high sensitivity to changes in pollutant parameters.

GIS-Based Spatiotemporal Mapping of Groundwater Potability and Palatability Indices in Arid and Semi-Arid Areas

Tariq Judeh et al.

Summary: The study developed groundwater potability and palatability indices using various methods, finding that some samples were unpotable or unpalatable. Unpotable samples were mainly found in areas with poor sewer networks and intensive use of agrochemicals. Groundwater in the eastern part of the West Bank was unpalatable due to seawater intrusion.

Sustainable groundwater quality in southeast coastal Bangladesh: co-dispersions, sources, and probabilistic health risk assessment

Abu Reza Md. Towfiqul Islam et al.

Summary: This study highlighted the serious groundwater quality issues in Bangladesh, especially in the southeast coastal region. Multiple approaches and indexes were used to assess groundwater quality, co-dispersions, sources, and probabilistic health risk simultaneously. The findings revealed high concentrations of pollutants in groundwater samples, posing a significant threat to water quality.
