The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and hydrochemical characteristics of urban groundwater in Urmia City, northwest of Iran. In order, 59 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for various anions and cations. Result shows that, mineral weathering, ion exchange and anthropogenic activity are the main hydrochemical processes controlling urban groundwater chemistry. The evaluation of groundwater geochemistry in the flow path beneath the urban area shows that, due to land use changes, the hydrochemical change occurs predominantly in electrical conductivity (EC), Cl− and NO3–. The EC is increased in the direction of groundwater flow and in the last decade in industrial areas. According to the groundwater quality index values, most of the samples fit into the good quality class and samples with poor quality are located in the old residential, parks and agricultural areas of the city. The calculation of the irrigation water quality indices (Na%, sodium adsorption ratio, permeability index, residual sodium carbonate), and industrial water quality indices (Ryznar stability index, Langelier saturation index, Larson–Skold, Puckorius scaling index) indicated that the quality of water for irrigation purposes could be classified in the excellent to permissible categories. However, as for the industrial uses, the results also revealed that most of the samples could be classified in the aggressive and very aggressive categories.

Urbanization and industrialization lead to the change of land cover from pervious into impervious. This can impact environmental problems such as water quality degradation that affects human health and water ecosystems. The study aimed to develop a regression-correlation model between impervious cover in Ciliwung watershed and water quality indices in Ciliwung river. The correlation-regression model can be used to predict changes in the status of Ciliwung river water quality due to impervious cover changes. Methods of assessing the indices of water quality are CCME-WQI, NSF-WQI, and STORET within the period of 2005-2016. Monitoring locations from the most upstream to downstream are Atta’awun, Katulampa, Kedung Halang, Pondok Rajeg, Panus Bridge, Kelapa Dua, Condet, Kalibata, MT Haryono and Manggarai. Impervious cover data for each water quality monitoring location is processed using ArcGIS Software. Test of correlation significance between percentage of impervious cover and water quality indices using Pearson Correlation test method. The result of correlation test is significantly a strong inverse relationship between impervious cover and water quality indices. The result of regression test is trend line between impervious cover change and water quality indices that can be used to predict the change of water quality status in Ciliwung River.

Water Quality Indices

The present study was conducted to evaluate the quality of drinking water in randomly selected schools in Erbil city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The water quality indices such as the Heavy metal Pollution Index (HPI) and Heavy metal Evaluation Index (HEI) were applied to characterize water quality. Eighteen schools were incorporated and sampled for their water storage tanks available to students. Water samples and sediment samples from tanks floor were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer for the determination of twenty-two metal elements. In drinking water samples, all detected metals did not exceed the permissible limits of the World Health Organization. The results of this study showed that the average values of HPI and HEI for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni, and Zn were 54.442 and 0.221, respectively. According to data of the water quality indices, the schools drinking water quality are good and suitable for drinking in terms of heavy metals. However, sediments samples contained high concentrations of all elements including the toxic heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, and Pb). Re-suspension of sediments into water column after refilling storage tanks can pose a serious threat to students drinking water from such vessels. It is therefore recommended that proper storage tanks are provided to the schools accompanied by continuous sanitation and hygiene practice to mitigate the corrosion of tanks to avoid health risks of toxic metal
