Abstract
HIS study was conducted to evaluate factors regulating groundwater quality as applied mainly for agricultural use. For these purposes, fourteen groundwater samples have been collected from different locations of Minufiya Governorate, Egypt. Minufiya governorate is located in the Nile Delta, 80 km north of Cairo, and its groundwater resources are developed for water supply and irrigation purposes. The groundwater samples were analyzed for various water quality parameters such as pH, electric conductivity, soluble cations (Na, K, Ca and Mg), soluble anions (Cl, HCO3 , CO3 -2 and SO4 ), macronutrients (NO3, NH4, total P and total K), and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu). Chemical index like sodium percent (% Na), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonated (RSC) and Kelley’s ratio (KR) were calculated.
