Groundwater serves as a primary water source for various purposes. Therefore, aquifer pollution poses critical threat to human health and the environment. Identifying aquifer's highly vulnerable areas is necessary implement appropriate remedial measures, thus ensuring groundwater sustainability. This paper aims enhance vulnerability assessment (GWVA) manage quality effectively. The study focuses on El Orjane Aquifer in Moulouya basin, Morocco, which facing significant degradation due olive mill wastewater. maps (GVMs) were generated using DRASTIC, Pesticide SINTACS, SI methods. To assess effectiveness of proposed improvements, 24 piezometers installed measure nitrate concentrations, common indicator contamination. aimed GWVA by incorporating new layers, such land use, adjusting parameter rates based comprehensive sensitivity analysis. results demonstrate increase Pearson correlation values (PCV) between produced GVMs measured concentrations. For instance, PCV DRASTIC method improved from 0.42 0.75 after adding use layer Wilcoxon method. These findings offer valuable insights accurately assessing with similar hazards hydrological conditions, particularly semi-arid arid regions. They contribute improving environmental management practices, long-term sustainability aquifers.

The widespread presence of arsenic (As) and fluoride (F-) in groundwater poses substantial risks to human health on a global scale. These elements have been identified as the most prevalent geogenic contaminants northern Mexico. Consequently, this study aimed evaluate ecological associated with content As F- Meoqui-Delicias aquifer, which is one Mexico's emblematic irrigation districts. Concentrations were measured 38 samples using ICP-MS ion chromatography, respectively. Overall, these showed similar trend across revealing positive correlation between them pH. concentration ranged from 5.3 μg/L 303 0.5 mg/L 8.8 mg/L, Additionally, levels surpassed established national standards for safe drinking water 92% 97% samples, Given that used both agricultural purposes activities, also assessed posed by Monte Carlo simulation Species Sensitivity Distribution. findings disclosed significant noncarcinogenic risk exposure F-, well an unacceptable carcinogenic through consumption adults children. Furthermore, high aquatic species was medium sampling sites. Therefore, provide valuable information Mexican authorities international organizations (e.g., WHO) about adverse effects any without treatment region represents health.

Abstract Assessing groundwater quality is critical to regional water resource conservation and human health safety, especially in areas with co-existence of toxic constituents fluoride (F − ) arsenic (As). In this study, fourteen samples were collected Feng County, Northwestern Jiangsu Province identify dominant contaminants their spatial distribution risk. The composition variation characteristics major ions (K + , Na Ca 2+ Mg Cl SO 4 2− HCO 3 NO trace elements As, Mn) analyzed. hydrochemical results revealed that high F was mainly distributed the northern whereas As-riched primarily southern areas. Notably, over 85.7% 21.4% shallow exceeded drinking standard 1.5 mg/L for 10 µg/L respectively. Based on index (WQI) appraisal result, 71.4% study area classified as “poor”, thus unsuitable directly. We assessed non-carcinogenic risk (HQ Fluoride As Arsenic carcinogenic (CR ). calculated hazard quotient (HQ) indicated nearly all have an unacceptable > 1) each age group. However, HQ values 28.6%, 21.4%, posed potential risks infants, children, females, males, CR showed 0%, 28.6% 1.0 × −4 irrigation suitability assessment doubtful irrigation, owed magnesium hazards. findings will assist policymakers formulating proper remedial policies mitigation strategies ensure safety water.

Monte Carlo simulation and PMF model for assessing human health risks associated with heavy metals in groundwater: a case study of the Nubian aquifer, Siwa depression, Egypt

Introduction The groundwater in arid countries such as Egypt represent the main water resources desert regions due to long distance between these (oasis) and Nile River. Contamination of limited with toxic metals threaten health individuals regions. Methods current study integrates isotopic tracers, hydrogeochemistry, geophysical logs, positive matrix factorization (PMF model), Monte Carlo (MCS) simulation for pollution source apportionment risks associated heavy Nubian Sandstone aquifer (NSSA). Results Discussion resource used drinking purposes (NSSA) is pale meteoric (non-rechargeable aquifer). Silicate weathering, old trapped sea water, reverse ion exchange evaporation, dissolution are dominant mechanisms controlling chemistry. PMF model showed that major ions NSSA originated from four significant sources (anthropogenic activities, minerals, iron-bearing mixing seawater, hydrothermal water). total risk (HI) oral values highlighted non-carcinogenic dangers adults children through exposure. At same time, dermal contact posed a no high children. Most samples had carcinogenic (CR) higher than allowed limits (1.0E-4) like Cadmium, chromium, lead, suggesting effects across all age groups. approach-based concern evaluation assessed 5th % CR (child) 0.00012, 0.0036, 0.0088 Cd, Cr, Pb, respectively, indicating more potential Urgent comprehensive treatment measures imperative mitigate identified area.
