Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the analysis and analysis of groundwater quality factors in Farashband region for agriculture and drinking so that by using the drawing methods available in AQQA software, it is possible to provide a suitable solution for plain management. In this study, 19 villages from Farashband city in Fars province were selected and physicochemical parameters along with quantitative changes in groundwater resources were analyzed during 2016. The results showed that, based on the Wilcox diagram in 1995, the southern region is the source and the owner of the C3S1 class with salt water and can be used for agriculture. The rest of the C4S1 and C4S2 class areas are of very poor quality for unsuitable agriculture. In the classification of the quality of Farashband groundwater for agriculture based on WHO, it was found that about 56.2% of groundwater in Farashband region has a relatively favorable quality for agriculture. The groundwater of the region according to the Iranian standard for drinking determined that all the groundwater of Farashband region has good and permitted quality based on the amount of acidity, the amount of sulfate and the amount of hardness for drinking; However,
