Knowledge of the origin and hydrogeochemical composition of groundwater is very important for the sustainable development of groundwater resources in the present state of art. It is imperative to regularly monitor the quality of groundwater and develop means to protect it. Accordingly, this study was aimed to conduct a hydrogeochemical analysis and evaluation of the groundwater in the Lake Haramaya well field. The water samples taken from the well field were analyzed for six physicochemical parameters (temperature, conductivity, TDS, total hardness, pH, and turbidity), major cations and anions, minor anions and trace metals using standard procedures, and the results were compared with the national and international standards. The analysis conducted using the... view moreĀ»
