GIS-based modeling and analytical approaches for groundwater quality suitability for different purposes in the Egyptian Nile Valley, a case study in Wadi Qena by Hanaa A. Megahed, Abd El-Hay A. Farrag, Amira A. Mohamed, Mahmoud H. Darwish, Mohamed A. E. AbdelRahman, Heba El-Bagoury, Paola D’Antonio, Antonio Scopa, Mansour A. A. Saad

“…The hydrochemical composition reflects that Sodium–Chloride is the main water type in the study area, and in the sequence of the cations and anions, 100% of the groundwater samples are in the order Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+/Cl− > SO42− > HCO3−. Comparative analysis against standard quality guidelines indicated that most groundwater samples exceeded safe levels for major constituents, TDS, TH, pH, and EC, making them unsuitable for drinking but potentially suitable for irrigation of high salt-tolerant crops. …”
