Abstract

Flood spreading is one of the solutions for water resource management that can have positive effects on groundwater resources. The aim of research is to investigate some qualitative changes of Herat aquifer affected by flood spreading station in the region. Statistics of Ca, HCO₃, Mg, Na, Cl, TDS and EC parameters of agricultural wells were extracted. To evaluate effect of water extraction and consequently effect of sediment extraction on efficiency of sites, years of 2003-2011 were selected as the first period and 2012-2021 as the second period. Different interpolation methods were used to investigate spatial changes of qualitative parameters. Map of percentage of spatial changes of each parameter was obtained with using mathematical relationships. The results of examining percentage of spatial changes of parameters indicate an increase of water quality in downstream of flood spreading and outlet of aquifer. The lowest EC with less than 1000 µmho/cm is related to western wells and the highest EC with more than 10000 µmho/cm in is related to eastern wells. This reinforces positive effect of flood spreading. Considering spatial pattern, effect of flood spreading projects in this area has been positive and has been able to control the decline in quality of groundwater.
