This analysis reveals significant challenges in groundwater quality for irrigation, with implications for sustainable water management.

Groundwater quality for irrigation is poor to unsuitable, as shown by EC values ranging from 993 to 9,322 µS/cm.
Statistical analysis reveals that 58.78% of samples are categorized as highly unsuitable according to Richards classification.
Seasonal variations indicate slight improvements in quality, with good-quality water increasing from 4.87% to 7.31% during wet seasons.
Hydrochemical facies indicate 46.34% of samples are calcic chloride type, emphasizing mineralization challenges in the region.

Ibtissem et al. (2025) studied this question.
