dc.description.abstractIn this study, researchers delve into the assessment of groundwater quality for drinking purposes in the Abu Guta area within the Gezira Scheme. They shed light on the growing demand for water driven by population growth and economic development, underlining the crucial role of groundwater as the primary water source in the region, emphasizing its importance for sustaining life. The article emphasizes the significance of water quality assessment in determining its suitability for human consumption, taking into account both natural processes and human activities. To comprehensively evaluate water quality, the researchers employ the Water Quality Index (WQI), a tool that provides a holistic analysis based on various parameters and allows for comparisons against established guidelines. The study meticulously outlines the methodology for calculating WQI scores, focusing on parameters like pH, chlorides, hardness, and conductivity, among others. Through rigorous sampling and laboratory analysis of water samples from 22 locations, the researchers uncover a spectrum of water quality ranging from poor to good for drinking purposes, with variations observed across different samples and seasons. Eval. Of Groundwater at Abu Guta El Aamri et al . Key parameters influencing water quality, such as pH, hardness, and chloride levels, are identified and discussed in detail. While most parameters meet recommended standards, deviations are noted in certain samples, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring and management efforts to address water quality challenges effectively. In essence, the study provides valuable insights into groundwater quality assessment using the WQI methodology, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and management practices to ensure a safe and sustainable drinking water supply in the region. Through their research, the authors advocate for a holistic approach to water management, underscoring the imperative of safeguarding this vital resource for present and future generations.
