This document summarizes a study evaluating the quality of groundwater in Alagilat, Libya for use in irrigation. 65 groundwater samples were collected from wells and analyzed for various chemical and physical parameters. Several quality indices were calculated including EC, SAR, RSC, PI, MAR, KR. The results found that 83.1% of samples had EC levels making them doubtful for irrigation, while 12.31% were unsuitable. Over 95% of samples met guidelines for other indices like SAR, RSC, PI, suggesting suitability for irrigation. However, high EC levels in many samples indicate potential need for pre-treatment or growing salt tolerant crops before using this groundwater for irrigation.

Evaluation of Potential Physico-Chemical Ground Water Pollution: a Case Study...EditorIJAERD
Ground water is a large source of water for utilisation in the world. This resource is not easily accessible to
monitor its changes and its deterioration is not easy to reverse. In the current study, physico-chemical parameters of
groundwater for Kiwanja Market (KM) were analysed and compared to the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBs) water
quality. The pH, DO, temperature, turbidity, chlorine, iron, water hardness, potassium and calcium were analysed. All the
parameters studied were within the stipulated levels except iron, and chloride for samples from point C (Ebenezer Hostel).
Turbidity for samples from points A and C were above the permissible levels of KEBs standards. The water sampled from
point A and C may require further treatment to allow for domestic use. This analysis revealed to some extent a healthier
system, though further analysis is needed to support this assertion. Continuous monitoring of the groundwater sources
within KM should be taken on regular basis to detect any changes and to sustainably maintain the quality of water within
the required KEBs water quality standards.
Water Quality Assessment of El-Salam Canal (Egypt) Based on Physico-Chemical ...Premier Publishers
Water quality of El-Salam Canal was assessed using physico-chemical and certain biological characteristics. Downstream increase of total soluble inorganic nitrogen (TSIN) and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) indicated increasing downstream eutrophication. The significant (P ≤ 0.01) downstream increase of chloride indicated elevated pollution. Water quality index (WQI) down (53) and up-stream (48) stations indicated bad to moderate condition, respectively. The increase of N, P, heavy metals and WQI may be attributed to excessive input of wastewater from El-Serw and Hadous drains. The highest concentrations of Fe (0.138 mg/l), Mn (0.116), Zn (0.057), Cu (0.019), Pb (0.278) and Cd (0.016) were recorded at downstream stations. Accumulation of these metals by hydrophytes followed the order: Fe ˃ Mn ˃ Zn ˃ Cu ˃ Pb ˃ Cd. Fifteen different hydrophytes were recorded with marked decline in species richness during winter and at downstream stations. The epiphytic microalgae were represented by 50 different taxa, belonging to six phylla including Cyanobacteria, Chlorophyta, Charophyta, Bacillariophyta, Euglenophyta and Rhodophyta. Thespecies composition and richness of the epiphytic microalgae was largely influenced by the plant species, as the highest number of species (42 taxa) was recorded for Ceratophyllum demersum and the lowest one (31 taxa) for Phragmites australis.

The Vaippar Basin, one of the important basins of Tamil Nadu is located between 9° 0' 05" & 9° 44' 56" N latitudes and 77° 23' 25" & 78° 17' 02" E longitudes with an area of 5339 sq.km. Groundwater samples were collected from 91 different locations in the Vaippar basin, Tamil Nadu, India. Groundwater quality data for the period of 30 years (1983 to 2013) of both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods were used to analyze the groundwater quality aspects of the Vaippar basin. The physico-chemical parameters such as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, HCO3-, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO4-, NO3- and Cl have been analyzed to determine the geological and non-geological source of contamination. An overall hydrogeochemical analytical study using Electrical Conductivity, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Sodium percentage (Na%) and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) values reveals that most of the groundwater samples collected from the study area are suitable for drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes.

A study on standard water quality requirements and management strategies suitable for fish farming is presented. The water quality criteria studied based on physical, chemical and biological properties of water include temperature, turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solid (TDS), nitrate- nitrogen, pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total hardness. Water samples from Otamiri River in Imo state, Nigeria, were analyzed based on the afore-mentioned criteria to assess its suitability as a source of water for fish farming. The results of the analysis compared with international standards revealed that the river temperature of 26.90C, nitrate-nitrogen value of 0.015 mg/l and total suspended solids of 18.60 mg/l fall within the acceptable range for fish farming. However, the pH of 5.82, total hardness of 5.8 mg/l, total dissolved solids of 13.60 mg/l and biochemical oxygen demand of 0.6 mg/l all differed slightly from the standard recommended values. This study will aid fish farmers on the necessary treatment needed to effectively use water from this source for fish farming.
Keywords: Water quality criteria, Otamiri River, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended and total dissolved solids.
The Effluent Quality Discharged and Its Impacts on the Receiving Environment ...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
The study evaluates the performance of Kacyiru Sewage Treatment Plant and its effluent impacts on the receiving wetland. Influent and effluent wastewaters as well as receiving wetland water qualities were measured from April to September 2019, at Kacyiru estate. The average removal efficiency (%) of the parameters such as TN, TP, COD, BOD 5 were recorded as 46.57; 61.49; 50.51; 66.79 respectively. The parameters such as pH, TDS, temperature value, were recorded within the prescribed limit of Rwanda standards for domestic wastewater discharge. The other parameters such as NTU, TN, TP, TSS, BOD 5 and Fecal coliforms were not complying with National standards requirements for domestic wastewater discharge. The finding showed that the excess nutrient observed may present potential sources of pollution in wetland and decrease the oxygen levels which affect the water living organisms. The discharged effluents contain microbes which can negatively devastate the receiving environment, thus the effect of discharged wastewater on environment is significant.

Easily accessible surface waters remain very fragile and very vulnerable to various types of pollution. Chellif,
Macta and Tafna Basins are considered as the main water resources feeding the North West of Algeria; however,
protection and conservation of these water resources become the major concern of the researchers. The
evaluation system of the water quality is based on the measure of physic-chemical parameters of the surface
water according to the uses of water for drink, industry or agriculture. In this work we have to proceed to an
application of this system to the surface waters on the three basins. Physic-chemical analyses are used for a
period of three years (2012-2014) and several points chosen on the three catchments are taken into account.
In this paper we shall apply the quality index calculation method for the Water Quality Evaluation system
(WQES) and the follow-up of the impacts of the anthropologic activities on the natural environment The main
results are the validation of the WQES method for different type of pollution as mineral, organic, heavy metals
in the West of Algeria, this methodology give us possibility for better investigation of the water pollution

The study examines the irrigation water quality
for North Sinai Development Project (NSDP). The water
resources investigated are agriculture wastewater mixed with
Nile freshwater in a ratio of 1:1. This study focuses on the
quality of irrigation water used in the reclamation and
cultivation of 75,000 acres of the South-East EL-Kantra Canal
lies in the NSDP. Six monitoring locations along the canal path
were chosen for examination. Water samples were collected
every month during the period from Dec. 2007 to Nov. 2014.
The water parameters were set using the Egyptian irrigation
water standards, based on the local Decree 92/2013 for the
Executive Regulation of Law 48/1982, concerning the protection
of the Nile River and its waterways from pollution, as well as
the United States Environmental Agency, USEPA 2012
Guidelines for reclaimed water quality for irrigation. The
results of the study clearly demonstrate restrictions to irrigate
the uncooked vegetables and uncooked crops for human. The
need for increasing the mixed Nile freshwater portion or
pretreatment of the agriculture wastewater prior to mixing
with the Nile freshwater to satisfy Egyptian irrigation water
standards and USEPA 2012 as several water quality results,
such as BOD, DO, and fecal coliform, are unacceptable. As a
suggestion, we recommend using aerated lagoons, stabilization
ponds or wetlands to treat polluted agriculture wastewater
before adding to the Nile river water to satisfy Egyptian
irrigation water criteria.

Executive Regulation of Law 48/1982, concerning the protection
of the Nile River and its waterways from pollution, as well as

before adding to the Nile river water to satisfy Egyptian

The basic reason behind the need to
monitor water quality is to verify whether the examined
water quality is suitable for intended usage or not. This
study is conducted on Al -Shamiya al- sharqi drain in
Diwaniya city in Iraq to make valid assessment for the
level of parameters measured and to realize their effects
on irrigation. In order to assess the drainage water
quality for irrigation purposes with a high accuracy, the
Irrigation Water Quality Index (IWQI) will be examined
and upgraded (integrated with GIS) to make a
classification for drainage water. For this purpose, ten
samples of drainage water were taken from different ten
location of the stuay area. The collected samples were
analyzed chemically for different elements which affect
water quality for irrigation.These elements are :
Calcium(Ca+2), Sodium(Na+
), Magnesium(Mg+2),
Chloride( ), Potassium(K+
), Bicarbonate(HCO3),
Nitrate(NO3), Sulfate( , Phosphate( , Electrical
Conductivity(EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) and pH-values (PH). Sodium
Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and Sodium Content (Na%)
have been also calculated. Results suggest that, the use of
GIS and Water Quality Index (WQI) methods could
provide an extremely interesting as well as efficient tool
to water resource management. The results analysis of
(IWQI) maps confirms that: 52% of the drainage water
in study area falls within the "Low restriction" (LR) and
47%of study area has water with (Moderate
restriction)(MR),While 1% of drainage water in the
study area classified as (Sever restriction) (SR). So, the
drainage water should be used with the soil having high
permeability with some constraints imposed on types of
plant for specified tolerance of salts
Impact on Aquatic Environment for Water Pollution in the Vahirab Rivertheijes
Water is a valued natural resource for the existence of all living organisms. Vahirab river is the prominent & important rivers for vital source of water from Jessore to Khulna. The prime reason of deterioration and pollution of the river water quality by effluents discharged from industries, municipal sewage, household wastes, clinical wastes and oils. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of this wastewater on the river and thus to provide an updated report on the state of water quality of river Vahirab. The water sample were collected from different areas in the river Vahirab and analyzed for physico-chemical parameters and fresh water elements in the month of July, 2013 to November, 2013. The values of temperature, turbidity, pH, chloride, hardness, DO, BOD, COD, Fe, As, Pb, Cd and Cr in the river water were measured. During study period the temperature, turbidity, pH, hardness, chloride, DO, BOD and COD were found to be 280C to 31.50C, 37 to 947 NTU, 7.2 to 8.01, 92 to 140 ppm, 9 to 34 ppm, 122 to 5.51 mg/L, 0.22 to 5.79 mg/L and 3.80 to 10.80 mg/L respectively. The concentration of Fe, Pb, As, Cd and Cr were found to be 0.10 to 2.60 ppm, 0.004 to 0.025 ppm, 0.001 to 0.004 ppm, 0.00015 to 0.0094 ppm and 0.001 to 0.006 ppm respectively. From the results of investigation, it was observed that the values of pH, Cl- , hardness, As, Pb, Cd and Cr were within standard limit but the values of temperature, turbidity, DO, BOD, COD and Fe were not within acceptable limit as recommended by WHO and BDS guidelines. The results obtained from this investigation will help the people of the research area to be conscious for using the water in the Vahirab river.
Assessment of Physico Chemical Characteristics of Groundwater Quality of Ajme...ijtsrd
Studies of Physico chemical parameters of groundwater quality based on Physico chemical parameters of Ajmer city in Rajasthan have been taken up to evaluate its suitability for domestics purpose. 21 ground water samples were collected from different places of Ajmer city in Rajasthan. The quality analysis has been made through the pH, EC, TDS, Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, COD, Total Hardness, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Fluoride and Alkalinity. A systematic calculation of the correlation coffecient has also been carried out between different analysed parameters. Comparative studies of samples in different seasons were conducted and it was found that Electrical Conductivity and Total Dissoved Solids TDS were decreased. Alkalinity and Total Hardness were increased after the rainfall. Ajmer is one of the major and oldest cities in the Indian state of Rajasthan and the centre of the eponymous Ajmer District. It is located at the centre of Rajasthan, and is home to the Ajmer Sharif shrine. The city was established as Ajayameru translated as Invincible Hills by a Chahamana ruler, either Ajayaraja I or Ajayaraja II, and served as their capital until the 12th century CE. Ajmer is in the northwest of India and is surrounded by the Aravali Mountains. It is situated on the lower slopes of the Taragarh Hill of that range. To the northwest is the Nagapathar Range of the Aravali Mountain Ranges which protects it from desertification from the Thar Desert.

Assessment of Water Quality of Lakes for Drinking and Irrigation Purposes in ...IJERA Editor
Lake water is an important source for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes in rural and urban India. The present study aims at evaluating the water quality of various lakes in Raipur city, Chhatisgarh. There existed 154 lakes in the city but it shrinked to 85 in number due to encroachment or drying up of lakes. Twenty seven prominent lakes are selected to study and evaluate the water quality for drinking and irrigation purposes. The water samples were collected and analysed for pH, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Alkalinity, Hardness, Sodium(Na+), Potassium(K+), Calcium(Ca2+), Magnesium(Mg2+), Bicarbonate(HCO3-), Sulphate (SO42-), Nitrate (NO3−),Phosphate(PO43-) Fluoride(F-), Chloride (Cl−), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Coliform (TC) and Fecal Coliform (FC). There are variations for pH (6.59-8.29), EC (382-2330μS/cm), Turbidity (1-232 NTU), TDS (244-1491 mg/L), Alkalinity (120-600 mg/L), Hardness (66-330mg/L), Na+(37-430 mg/L), K+ (8-253 mg/L), Ca2+ (9-90 mg/L), Mg2+(3-26 mg/L), SO42- (5-200 mg/L), NO3-(0-19 mg/L), PO43-(0.19-5.3 mg/L), F-(0.18-1.41 mg/L) and Cl- (46-388 mg/L), DO(1-8.6 mg/L), BOD (0.1-11.3 mg/L), COD (8-118 mg/L), Total Coliform( 15-3600 MPN/100ml) and Fecal Coliform (4-240 MPN/100 ml). The results have been compared with the drinking water standard prescribed by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS). All the physiochemical parameters are within the prescribed limit except turbidity, fecal & total coliform. The Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and salinity hazards are studied to classify the water for irrigation uses. It is found that lake water is suitable for irrigation purposes.

The quality groundwater for irrigation in Fetzara basin, northeast AlgeriaInnspub Net
The Fetzara basin occupying an area of about 515 km2 is a part of the alluvial deposits of the Annaba plain. The main source of irrigation water in Fetzara basin is groundwater, hence its quality needs to be controlled; otherwise it can damage soil and reduce crop production. The aim of this study was to review hydro chemical processes that control the groundwater chemistry and to determine the suitability of groundwater for irrigation. Hydro chemical analysis has been carried out based on concentrations of Ca++, Mg++, Na+, K+, Cl-, SO4–, CO3– and HCO3-. Different irrigation quality parameters viz, salinity, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), sodium percentage (Na%), Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), Magnesium Hazards (MH), Kelly’s index (KI) and Permeability Index (PI) are calculated for the evaluation of groundwater quality for irrigation purposes. The evaluation of SAR (2.127-9.021) and EC (1240-6390 µS/cm) resulted in classification category ‘C3S1 and C4S1’, indicating high salinity and low sodium water which can be used for irrigation in most soils and crops with little to medium danger of development of exchangeable sodium and salinity. However, samples with doubtful Na% (56%), unsuitable KI and MH (88%, 64% respectively), and high salinity hazard (60%) values restrict the suitability of the groundwater for agricultural purposes, and plants with good salt tolerance should be selected for such ground waters.
Groundwater quality of south India is depending on climate condition and bedrock geology but may also be impacted by pollution, particularly from industrial sources and agricultural activity. In the current study, 15 groundwater samples were collected from different locations in the Kinathukkadavu Taluk, Coimbatore to assess water quality for drinking as well as for irrigation purpose by analyzing the major cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and K+) and anions (Cl-, NO3-, SO42- and F-) besides some physical and chemical parameters (pH, total hardness, electrical conductivity and total alkalinity). Statistical analysis like correlation, R- mode factor and cluster analysis were performed for demarcate the association of hydro geochemical parameters. Also groundwater quality mapping was developed using geographic information system.
Assessment of Commonly Used Pesticides in the Ground Water of the Shallow Aqu...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— One of the most important pollutants that may reach the groundwater through agricultural return flow combined with abuse and ignorance is pesticides. This study focuses on the examination of the concentration of three pesticides: Abamectin, Imidacloprid, and ß-Cyfluthrin, all of which have been used in large quantities in the Lower Jordan Valley (LJV) for the last three decades. Twenty five groundwater samples were collected from water boreholes where water is abstracted from two phreatic aquifer systems which are the Plio-Plistocene aquifer system in Jericho and Lower Al Jeftlik areas and the Eocene carbonate aquifer system in the Middle of Al Jeftlik. The depth of the boreholes in both aquifer system ranges between 80 and 120 m. Water samples were analyzed for Abamectin, Imidacloprid, and ß-Cyfluthrin using the HPLC-UV method. These samples represent two main agricultural locations (Jericho, and the Al Jeftlik). Of the 25 wells sampled, Abamectin was detected in 11 wells in concentrations ranging between 1.24 ppb and 81.71ppb. Imidacloprid was detected in 24 wells in concentrations ranging between 1.60ppb and 325.0ppb. Finally, ß-Cyfluthrin was detected in 7 wells in concentrations ranging between 1.10 and 24.46ppb.
Aquifer lithology, groundwater flow directions, type of agricultural activity are major factors in controlling pesticide concentrations in groundwater. The highest values were measured where the aquifer consists of gravel and sand sediments, combined with intensive agricultural activities, followed by sand-silt aquifer. The lowest concentrations were found in boreholes where carbonate aquifer is the main source of water which indicates that other source of water flow into the system. The results of this study demonstrate that these pesticides are used heavily and in an improper way in the lower Jordan Valley, increasing the risk of adverse environmental and public health effects. Much attention should be given to addressing the potential problem of environmental and groundwater contamination by these pesticides.
CHARACTERIZATION OF LEACHATE FROM MUNCIPAL LANDFILL AND ITS EFFECT ON SURROUN...Dr. Naveen BP
Percolating water passing through waste becomes contaminated and will have dissolved soluble organic and inorganic compounds as well as suspended particles. Also the pore fluid of the waste is often released and mixes with this water. The entire contaminated fluid is called leachate. There are many factors that affect leachate production like annual precipitation, runoff, infiltration, evaporation, transpiration, and freezing, mean ambient temperature, waste composition, waste density, initial moisture content, and depth of the waste fill. The production of leachate reduces when a landfill is closed. The decomposition of waste in presence of water can be separated into two different phases of degradation viz., initial aerobic and subsequent anaerobic. Generally, the leachate undergoes natural chemical changes over time that reduces its toxicity. Some of the soluble contaminants enrich the water table, or the saturated zone. Some of remaining molecules naturally adsorbed to the clay liner particles. The paper discusses the characteristics of leachate generated from municipal solid waste landfill and its effect on surrounding water bodies near Mavallipura landfill area in Bangalore. Two samples of water from the nearby pond and well were collected from downstream of Mavallipura landfill site. Physico-chemical characterization of leachate has shown that the leachate contains high concentrations of organic and inorganic constituents beyond the permissible limits. While the heavy metals concentration was in traces as the waste is dumped in the landfill is mainly domestic in nature. The pH of the leachate is marginally alkaline as the pH is 7.4. The results also showed that the highest metal concentration that exists in the leachate was Iron which is about of 11.16 ppm. BOD5 and COD of the leachate are 1500 mg/l and 10400 mg/l, respectively. The leachate characteristics indicate favorable growth of algae in natural water contaminated with leachate with the alkaline condition and with the presence of magnesium as nutrient, which has been confirmed in the nearby surface pond. Knowledge of leachate quality will be useful in planning and providing remedial measures to protect surface and ground water quality in the area.
The study was conducted to evaluate the groundwater
quality of Aligarh city, (India). Groundwater samples were
collected from 40 wells and analyzed for 20 water quality
parameters in post-monsoon seasons during the year 2013. High
coefficient of variance indicates variability of physico-chemical
parameters concentrations in ground water. The descriptive
statistical analysis was done beside Pearson correlation. From
correlation analysis it was observed that very strong correlations
exist between total hardness and Mg++ (0.99), TDS and total
hardness (0.88), TDS and Chloride (0.87). In 100% of the
samples recorded alkalinity and magnesium concentration were
found higher than maximum permissible limit prescribed by BIS.
Concentration of hardness, cadmium, pH, iron, lead, and total
dissolved solids were also found above the standard limits
prescribed by BIS. This reveals deterioration of water quality. It
is therefore, suggested to take up regular monitoring of
groundwater in areas of Aligarh city.

, EC, TDS and TH. For
classification purpose, some chemical indices like EC, Sodium percent (SP), Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR),
residual sodium carbonate (RSC), Permeability index (PI), Magnesium ratio (MR) and Kelly`s ratio (KR), were
calculated. The results indicated that the 83.1% and 12.31 % of the samples EC level fall under doubtful and
unsuitable category. This in turn implies to the importance of carrying out a pre-treatment and monitoring of
the studied samples if they were to be utilized in irrigation. One option is to grow salt tolerant crops to
overcome this issue. Regarding the remaining indices, the results showed that more than 95% of the samples
were found to be within the safe limit and likely suitable for agricultural irrigation purposes.
Keywords: Alagilat, water quality, irrigation, quality indices
I. Introduction
Water is a valuable natural resource and essential factor for sustainability. Groundwater resource is one
key factor that play important role in sustaining the socio-economic standards in any society . It supports various
phases of development, including agriculture and industry. In arid and semi-arid regions, groundwater quality is
considered a critical issue that is emphasized strongly in the governments’ agendas. The shortage of
precipitation, unsustainable human activities and environmental pollution, are few examples of the challenges
faced in this region of the globe. The groundwater of the northwestern part of Libya is the major water supply
for all daily applications. Specifically, the groundwater in the Jiffarah Plain Basin in this part of the Libyan
geography, has been under heavily use over decades by the rapidly expanding development. This development
has affected adversely the quality of the groundwater, in terms of chemical, physical and biological aspects.
Characterizing the properties of groundwater for specific application by its industrial or human
consumption is considered vital for deciding the feasibility of the resource and its safeness for the public health
and the environment. For agricultural application, the chemical parameters of ground water should comply with
the irrigation requirements (WHO 1996). If these parameters exceeded the recommended values, the resource is
considered unsafe. In many countries, different studies related to groundwater quality assessment have relied on
using different indices for judging 'how safe is safe'. For example, Talukder et al. (1998), Shahidullah et al.
(2000), Sarkar and Hassan,( 2006); Obiefuna and Orazulike, (2010) employed the indices like Electrical
conductivity (EC), Sodium absorption ratio( SAR), Residual sodium carbonate(RSC), Magnesium ratio(MAR)
and Kelly`s ratio(KR) and permeability index( PI) for deciding the feasibility of the groundwater in agricultural
irrigation. However, in Libya, including the Northwestern region, the data similar to such studies are not made
on a major scale in the country. Therefore, the present study investigates the hydro-chemical qualities of
groundwater in the Northwestern region, particularly Alagilat area for irrigation purposes. The described area is
known as an urban and rural area that the society largely depends on its land resource for agriculture.
II. Study Area
The study area is located in the area coordination of latitude 32o
45` 25`` and longitude 12o
22` 34`` in
Alagilat area, Northwestern Libya. It is around 85 km from Tripoli and about 4 meters above the sea level ʺ Figʺ
The maximum temperature is about 45o
C and minimum 20 o
C with an average annual rainfall of 150mm.It has a
dry climate with hot summer and cold winter. Ground water is considered the main source of water supply in the
study area. The dominant soils are of sandy type. The agriculture is considered one of the main activities in the
area where barley, wheat, lattice, sparsely, carrots and fodder crops are grown.

III. Methodology
A total of 65 ground water samples were collected during 2013 from 26 villages of Alagilat area, Libya
using Global positioning system (GPS). The samples were collected from public wells, private wells, water
sources in the health centers, and schools. First, the water was left to run for few minutes from the wells to
pump out the standing water before taking the final samples. The samples were collected in pre cleaned
sterilized polyethylene plastic bottles of 1L capacity then the samples were placed in clean containers and
immediately put in ice boxes. The ice boxes were shipped to Syracuse, Italy where the analyses were done by
standard techniques in the laboratories of Ecocontrol Sud Company ʺTable1ʺ. The ground water samples were
analyzed for hydro- chemical parameters of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Potassium (K), Sulfate (SO4),
Phosphate (PO4), Chloride (Cl), Sodium (Na+
) and Nitrate (NO3). The physical parameters like pH, Electrical
conductivity (EC), temperature and dissolved oxygen were measured in situ using field kit.
All chemical parameters are expressed in mg L -1
except pH and EC. In order to achieve the aim of this
research, several indices for irrigation such as Sodium absorption ratio (SAR), Permeability index (PI), Sodium
percentage (SP), Magnesium ratio (MAR), Residual sodium carbonate (RSC), Kelly`s ratio (KR) and Electrical
conductivity (EC) have been used. The parameters were converted from milligram per liter to milliequivalent
per liter. The concentrations of the ions were interpreted and calculated from standard equations ʺ Table 2ʺ and
used in the assessment of the groundwater suitability in agricultural irrigation.
IV. Results And Discussion
The calculated parameters results are presented in ʺ Table 3ʺ and the summary statistics of the indices
used to evaluate the ground water for irrigation purposes are presented in ʺ Table 4ʺ. The following projections
can be made based on the results:
The electrical conductivity is a powerful criterion to measure the salinity hazard to the crops. It
conveys information about the soluble salts in the water samples and potential risk to the productivity of the
crops. The higher values of the electrical conductivity the less the amount of water that is available to the crops.
The EC values in this study ʺTable 5ʺ indicated that 83.1% (54 samples) fall within the doubtful category; while
8 samples (12.31%) and 3 samples (4.62%) fall within the unsuitable and permissible categories, respectively.
Kelly`s ratio. Based on Kelly (1951) categorization scheme, Kelly`s ratio ˃ 1 is considered unsuitable
for irrigation purposes; whereas, samples of ratio ˂ 1 are considered suitable for irrigation. In the studied
samples, the range of Kelly`s ratio was between 0.14 and1.63 %. The lowest value was in sample numbered 23;
while the highest one was in sample numbered 19. The majority of the collected samples fall within the
permissible limit of ˂ 1 and thus are considered suitable for the agricultural irrigation. Exception is made to
samples numbered 10, 14, 19 and 23 ʺTable 6ʺ.
Sodium adsorption ratio is an important parameter to determine the suitability of the ground water for
irrigation. This parameter gives a clear idea about the soil alkalinity. In this study, a total of 60 samples
(92.31%) of the ground water samples were ˂ 10 and fall within the excellent class ʺ Table 7ʺ. However, 7.69%
(5 samples) fall within the good class.
Sodium percentage is one of the major parameters used to assess the suitability of ground water for
irrigation purposes. High Soluble Sodium percentage in the ground water can stunt the plant growth and
decrease the soil permeability (Joshi et al 2009). In this study, the Soluble Sodium percentage varied from 12.09
to 62.35 % with an average of 36.76%. According to the classification proposed by Todd 1995 ʺTable 8ʺ
69.23% of the collected samples fall within the good class, while 27.69 % and 1.54% of the samples were within
permissible and excellent classes respectively. Only one sample fall within the doubtful class
Permeability index of the soils can be affected by the long term use of the irrigation water when it
contains high concentrations of salts. The values of the permeability index obtained in the present study are
presented in ʺ Table 9ʺ the values varied from 13.69 to 106.76 with an average of 47.66%. The highest value
was in well numbered 39 and the lowest one in well numbered 22. Around 95.38% of the samples fall within the
class II, 3.08% within the class I and 1.54% within the class III.
Magnesium ratio in the ground water is considered one of the important indexes in evaluating the
quality agricultural water. Usually, calcium and magnesium sustain the equilibrium in most water types. When
water Mg increases, the soil salinity increases; therefore, the crop yield is reduced. According to the
classification proposed by Ayers and Westcot, (1985) ʺTable 10ʺ 92.31% of the samples were less than 50%,
except for samples numbered 19, 22, 33, 49 and 61.
Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), the ground water for irrigation purposes can be influenced by high
levels of carbonate and bicarbonate. The classification for residual sodium carbonate was given by (Richard
1954). In the present study, all RSC values fall within the safe class ʺ Table 11ʺ suggesting that all water
samples are considered safe for agricultural irrigation.

VI. Conclusion
Assessment of ground water quality in Alagilat area for agricultural irrigation was conducted based on
different indices like RSC, PI, SP, SAR, KR, Mg ratio and EC. The analysis showed that these indices were
complied with the recommended standards. More than 95% of the studied samples from spatially observed sites
were suitable for irrigation purposes. However, for EC, 95.4% of the samples contained high concentrations of
salts and, therefore, were considered unsafe for crop irrigation. This suggests that such ground water wells
require special care and applying an alternative solution to mitigate the salination, the authors recommend the
option of growing salt-tolerant plant species (hyper accumulators)
