Hydro geochemical properties and groundwater quality using FGQI method from the stand point of Iranian standards and World Health Organization A case study in Naqadeh plain, Iran

Abstract

The groundwater system does not respond quickly to pollution, and the time it takes for contaminants to reach the groundwater and release it into the aquifer is usually long. It often takes time and money to clean up contaminated groundwater and reuse it and finding an alternative water source is not always possible. Therefore, the best and most effective solution is to prevent pollutants from entering this valuable source. Determining the level of groundwater pollution is one of the most important hydrogeological studies in which the identification of areas prone to pollution and the study of aquifer vulnerability is extremely important. Healthy drinking water should have good quality characteristics (such as physical and chemical properties). One of these indicators is the concentration of main ions in the water.
