Discussion

Analysis demonstrates groundwater quality issues in Bangladesh, indicating significant health risks.

Approximately 38% of groundwater sources in Magura Sadar are classified as good for drinking, while 62% are inadequate.
The analysis of 10 water quality parameters showed that geogenic processes and agricultural activities mainly affect groundwater mineralization.
Principal component analysis and a Piper diagram identified dominant groundwater types as Ca2+-HCO3- with serious quality concerns.
High noncarcinogenic risks were observed in approximately 40.5% of adults and 90.48% of children exposed to contaminated groundwater.

Nahar et al. (2025) studied this question.
