Abstract

The main objective of this study is to assess the quality of groundwater for drinking consume and agriculture purposes in abhar city. The analytical results shows higher concentration of electrical conductivity (100), total hardness (66.7), total dissolved solids (40), magnesium (23), Sulfate (13.3) which indicates signs of deterioration as per WHO and Iranian standards for drinking consume. Agricultural index, in terms of the hardness index, 73.3 of the samples in hard water category and 73.3 in sodium content were classified as good. Therefore, the main problem in the agricultural sector was the total hardness Water was estimated. For the RSC index, all 100 of the samples were desirable. In the physicochemical parameters of drinking water, 100 of the samples were undesirable in terms of electrical conductivity and 100 of the samples were desirable for sodium and chlorine parameters. Therefore, the main water problem in Abhar is related to electrical conductivity and water total hardness.
