Abstract

Garmsar plain is one of the central desert sub-basins in Semnan province with a warm and dry desert climate. After the HablehRood River, which is the main source of surface water of the area, the groundwater resources of Garmsar plain have a vital role in supplying agricultural and industrial demands; hence, the quality assessment of the groundwater is very important since it has a very great impact on the environment. This study aims to analyze the water quality of the area and determine the effects of geological formations on the hydrochemical deterioration of the groundwater quality in the area. To this aim, the hydrochemical environment of the region was simulated using Qa.Aq, Rockwors16, and GIS10.1 using the upstream of the basin chemical water and groundwater hydrochemistry data, the Garmsar study area was simulated. Besides, mineral saturation indices, hydrochemical water facies, and the total amount of soluble materials were determined, and the diagram of one or more effective hydrochemical variables was drawn. The results show that the most important factor in groundwater quality is the interaction between water and geological facies.
