Abstract
:
Hydrochemical study is carried out on Wadi Tharad area in south of Saudi Arabia, where 42 wells were chosen for collection of water samples. The electrical conductivity and pH of the collected samples are measured in the field. The water samples are chemically analyzed and the major cations and anions are determined. The water salinity ranges from 351 mg/l to 3137 mg/l. The results of the chemical analyses show that most of the cations and anions fall within the World Health Organization (WHO) standards and the water can be used safely in some locations. The groundwater in the study area is divided into two hydrochemical facies: 1) calcium-magnesium-sulfate-chloride and 2) calcium-magnesiumbicarbonate. The SAR ratios are calculated and found to be ranging from 1.15 to 5.34 and hence the water is very suitable for irrigation purposes.
