Demystifying heavy metals and physicochemical characteristics of groundwater in a volcano-tectonic region of Middle Awash, Ethiopia, for multipurpose use
Investigates the concentrations of physicochemical and heavy metal contaminants in groundwater.
Abstract
This study investigates the concentrations of physicochemical and heavy metal contaminants in the groundwater of the Middle Awash Basin, Ethiopia, to inform targeted water management strategies.
The findings emphasise the urgent need for comprehensive groundwater management and remediation plans in the Middle Awash region, measures critical to protect public health and support local development in the face of ongoing environmental and anthropogenic pressures.
This article is part of the REACH Improving Water Security for the Poor programme.
