Among all other valuable natural resources, groundwater is crucial for global economic growth and food security. This study aimed to delineate potential zones (GWPZ) in the Gidabo watershed of Main Ethiopian Rift. The demand supplies various applications has risen recently due rapid population upsurge. An integrated Geographical Information System, Remote Sensing, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) been utilized. Eight regulating factors, including rainfall, elevation, drainage density, soil types, lineament slope, lithology, land use/land cover, have taken analysis. To assign suitable weights each factor, AHP was employed, as element contributes differently occurrence. weighted overlay analysis (WOA) technique then used ArcGIS environment integrate thematic layers generate a GWPZ map. delineated classified into five categories. poor covered 18.7 %, low 33.8 moderate 23.4 high 18.1 very 5.8 % area.

The study aims to understand the hydrochemical characteristics and groundwater suitability for agricultural drinking purposes. For this purpose, 21 samples were collected, major physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, temp, salinity, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3−, Cl−, SO42− analyzed, followed by standard analytical procedures. Different quality graphical representations constructed using Aqua Chem software. results indicate alkaline with fresh moderate saline in nature, sixty-eight percent of suitable accordance WHO, thirty-two unsuitable due excess amount different ionic concentrations derived from natural various anthropogenic sources.

Crop productivity relies on the quantity and quality of irrigation water, with groundwater playing a major role. Exploitation for is slowly increasing in central districts Odisha. A study was carried out these areas to assess sustainable use resources. This done by developing Water Quality Index (WQI) eight parameters. The assessed using framework that utilised entropy weight approach Technique Order Preference Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). employed determine relative proximity each solution ideal solution. TOPSIS range divided into three categories: low (less than 0.1), medium (0.1–0.5), good (0.5–0.9). low-quality category has percentage 6.45%, categorized as poor unfit drinking uses; medium-quality 52.07%, 41.47% area falls under very category. These parameters are essential when considering water usage agriculture, especially regions where farmers fertilizers pesticides extensively enhance crop production.

A hydrogeochemical analysis was conducted to find the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes in Kuzhithuraiyar sub-basin, Kanniyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, India. 48 samples were collected from different locations study area during both pre- postmonsoon periods. This assesses quality based on analytical results, water index, Wilcox plot, parameters such as electrical conductance, Kelly’s ratio, sodium absorption ratio values, magnesium hazards, bicarbonate, residual carbonate index. The pH values ranged 8.5 6.5, suggesting generally acceptable conditions. TDS concentrations range 24 1277 mg/L, whereas EC 37.50 1996 μS/cm. It is observed that pre-monsoon TDS’ exceeded recommended limits than samples. Water indices indicate 50% premonsoon 48% are suitable drinking. In total, 10% admissible a doubtful category before after monsoon, 6% good permissible 84% permissible. shows 56% post- irrigation, respectively, remaining not. Due 40% 44% not irrigation. Overall, limit (1000 mg/L) by 6. 13% obtained monsoon 19% have potential salinity greater three, indicating these unacceptable. sustaining mitigating possible hazards sub-basin require continuous monitoring focused measures.
