Assessment of Groundwater Quality in the Talensi District, Northern Ghana by Larry Pax Chegbeleh, Bismark Awinbire Akurugu, Sandow Mark Yidana

“…High nitrate and lead levels observed have been associated with agrochemicals and wastewater from farms and homes. Three main flow regimes have been identified with Q-mode cluster analysis, in which mixed cation water types have been revealed, where areas designated as recharge zones are dominated by Na+ + K+–Mg2+–HCO3− fresh water types characterised by low mineralisation and pH, which evolve into Mg2+– Na+ + K+– HCO3− fresh water type with corresponding increased mineralisation of the groundwater. …”
