The Gharb aquifer plays a critical role as source of drinking water and irrigation in Morocco. However, rapid economic growth increased use chemical fertilizers have led to groundwater pollution land degradation. To address this issue, vulnerability assessment was conducted using the Susceptibility Index (SI) method. Five parameters including depth groundwater, effective recharge, slope, soil type, use/land cover were considered evaluate vulnerability. revealed index values ranging from 31 160. study area categorized into three zones relative (low, moderate, high). Spatial analysis demonstrated significant spatial heterogeneity, with moderate observed areas characterized by shallow composed primarily sandstones northwest southwest regions. In entire area, low, medium, high covered 3%, 70%, 26% (101 km 2 , 2725 986 ), respectively. Furthermore, Tritium isotope nitrate content selected applied markers confirm validate obtained map.

Groundwater vulnerability assessment is a crucial step in the efficient management of groundwater resources, especially areas with intensive anthropogenic activities and pollution. In present study, DRASTIC method was applied using Geographic Information System (GIS) to delineate zones Erbil Dumpsite area, Central Basin, North Iraq. Results showed that area classified into four classes: Very low (16.97%), (27.67%), moderate (36.55%) high (18.81%). The southern, south-eastern northern parts study exhibited highest potential, while central-northern, north-western regions displayed lowest potential. Moreover, results single-parameter sensitivity analysis indicated amongst seven parameters, unsaturated zone aquifer media were most influencing parameters. conclustion, correlation 25 nitrate concentration values final map, assessed Pearson coefficient, yielded satisfactory result R = 0.72.

Abstract This study focuses on assessing the seasonal variation in groundwater quality within Al‐Hoceima region, specifically examining physicochemical parameters and bacteriological indicators of water fecal contamination. The sampling campaign took place during wet dry seasons 2019 2021. In situ measurements were conducted 37 samples to determine parameters, while analyses performed using Escherichia coli ( E. ) as a contamination indicator. findings demonstrate significant variations across reveal groundwater, predominantly indicated by increased levels periods. Possible contributing factors include surface runoff percolation processes. Additionally, result showed high concentration expected 240 CFU/100 mL. Pollution was higher season than season. These results underscore poor Al Hoceima necessitating treatment before consumption.
